I wrote and sent a personal check to my brother for $10 in October. He went to the Vinton Virginia Food Lion and used the check to buy groceries. The cost of the groceries was $22.54. My brother was about to pay for the difference when the cashier stated don’t be concerned the additional cost can be taken care of. Not realizing what she meant the cashier somehow increased my personal $10 check to $22.54 electronically. My brother said that wasn’t right and the cashier stated it was too late and could not be changed. My brother went to another store associate and received the same comment. What l didn’t know was when the check finally cleared my bank there was no visible account of my $10 check. The processed check was electronically changed from $10.00 to $22.54. I immediately called my bank representative and stated what had happened. Basically the representative stated that was FRAUD and l disputed the charge. Now it’s December and yesterday l received a notice from a collection agency saying I’m responsible for the $22.54. I contacted my brother who will reimburse me for the cost, this will save an undue profanity letter that l already typed up for the collection agency and Food Lion in Vinton Virginia. Though my biggest question in how can a company change the amount of a personal check? Needless to say when l travel back to Virginia l will avoid the Food Lion in Vinton Virginia.
