The Check Cashing Place

It was not so bad coming here again. My buddy waited for literally 5 mins. This was the fastest I’ve been in any check cashing place.

Great customer service, tellers always with a smile on, the store looks great newly remodeled. Their Western Union service to send and receive money is excellent. Definitely would recommend this place!

This place is a joke. I used The Check Cashing Place to send several small payments (less than $ 500.00) to people who take care of property I own in Costa Rica over the course of a month. (I discovered that Western Union charges much lower fees than banks do for international transfers.) The first three payments went through without a hitch. After the third payment, this center would not process further transfers to Costa Rica, and requested additional information to «comply with Homeland Security Requirements.» The representative at the center stated that it was Western Union was disallowing the transaction, not them, and gave me a code to contact Western Union.
When I called Western Union to find out what the issue was, and the customer service rep on the phone wanted to talk to the store rep. The store rep wouldn’t take the phone to communicate with the Western Union rep because he said, «he wasn’t allowed.» Just lousy customer service. No wonder they have big thick bullet proof glass to hide behind!
Yet when I go to another store (on the same day in the same part of town, within a half hour of being turned down at The Check Cashing Place) to request to transfer the exact same amount of money to the very same person, the transaction goes through without a problem.
These people are clueless. Don’t waste your time. If you are going to get ripped off on a payday loan go somewhere else. These people don’t deserve the business.
