When using a check cashing service who is liable when payment is stopped?
This issue has many layers. We have well for our water needs. The water stopped working on Sat and we called someone to come look at it. After checking the current and relay we were told both were working and we needed a new well pump. He stated he would need the cost of the pump and parts up front. We wrote him a check for $1500. He told us he would deposit it into his bank and they would need to call us to verify we wrote it due to the amount. Later that day my husband received a call from “financial services” asking us to verify the check. The service guy did not show on Monday nor did he call. To keep this from being extremely long I will just say after phone calls we determined he did not order the parts and the “bank” was a check cashing business. We stopped payment on the check and the check cashing company is coming after us now! Can they hold us liable siblnce we did not write it to them and they did not identify themselves as a check cashing company? Should we pay them and take the service guy to small claims? I doubt we will get anything from him because he is a liar and a cheat. Just as a side note we got someone else to look at it and it was the relay costing $430 total! We were scammed
