He looked at my check, and told me I should not put my driver's license on my checks, in case of 'identity fraud'. I was surprised, as I had been doing this for 20 years with my identity intact. Then...he proceeded to write my driver's license number in by hand. Oy. Syd Syd Mailberg 425-432-4144 A few years ago when I was still getting "paper" bank statements w/ canceled checks, one whole page was missing. I called said bank to report it and get a copy of the page. The young man I spoke to erroneously put a "hold" on the account, unbeknownst to me, as I went along merrily writing checks....Twenty-some, before the first one was returned in the mail. The bank couldn't have been more helpful, admitting their bad, sending letters and in once case paying a $25 fee. I got absolutely NO sympathy from family and friends who thought the whole thing was hilarious. The upshot was my Acme (local food store) store/check cashing card was canceled. Horror of horrors!
