Jailed for cashing Chase check at Chase bank | KING5.com Seattle

This story is like a train wreck that kept getting worse.

Njoku got a lawyer.
SURPRISE! Chase is suddenly talking since he lawyered up and claiming they are looking to get a fair resolution to the issue.

Chase did not even realize THEIR OWN CHECK was real, were directly responsible for him being in jail for five days, him losing his job and his car.
I hope he takes them to the cleaners.
I'm not talking "millions", but it is downright despicable that Chase would not do right by this guy until they were threatened with a lawsuit.

Agreed...Chase owns him for damages and a good five figure punitive charge...

As a side note, I'd like to say that Njoku can now search his name and see I said he's good guy if he'd like to share...

I did business with Chase once. That was enough. I honestly could not cash a Chase mortgage check at a Chase bank. Swear to god.

I've about had it with Chase,they change policy at will and without warning..

Ths action (or rather, inaction) by Chase is indeed despicable. If it will not settle out of court, it deserves to become the recipient of a lawsuit.

Something smells funny here. Maybe it's me. (Taco Bell for lunch) But without researching this story a millisecond, I just smell tabloid (News of the World) media.

Give it a day and will capitulate if wrong.

I don't put it past Chase at all. I was sort of forced to bank with them when they bought out my old bank, Washington Mutual. WAMU was an excellent bank so I was sort of complacent when Chase bought them...kinda figured it couldn't be that big of a change.

Screw that. It's like they wanted to get rid of all the WAMU customers. They held a direct deposit of mine for 7 days once. Same one that went in every two weeks for two years prior. They also just cancelled my debit card once. When I called them, they said it was because it was used at stores that weren't typically used...and by that, they meant outlet stores that were about 20 miles away from my home. Yet, two weeks before they allowed a fraudulent charge on my card for a plane ticket bought out of somewhere in Mexico. Took them 4 weeks to refund the charges back to me.

When I went in to take all my money out, suddenly then they became all apologetic and when I still insisted that I wanted a cashier's check for the balance of my matured CD's, savings, christmas fund, and checking...they decided that they needed to hold the cashier's check for the balance for 10 business days to make sure there were no outstanding transactions on the account. Their reason? Because there had been a few a few irregular account activities, referring to the fraudulent charge in Mexico and the closed debit card for irregular transactions 20 miles from my home.

**** Chase. When I did get my money back from them, I stuck it all in a Capital One interest checking account, bought CD's with them and have been happy ever since. And since I have my credit cards with them, too, they increase the credit lines on them about every 3-5 months which looks really good when I actually make a credit purchase like a car or a house.

BB&T is another bank, along with Chase, that I avoid like the plague.

BB&T will charge $5 to cash a check DRAWN on BB&T, if you do not have an account with them. When advised of that at the drive-thru window, I said to the teller: REALLY? and took my check back and drove off.

Little did she realize, it was my signature on the check, written by me on behalf of the company, who DID have input as the where the comapny banked.

Two weeks later, the account was closed.

It's a sad, and mildly disturbing story, but who doubts that Mr. Njoku is going to find this a wildly profitable misadventure?
