Answer 1

The reason most people are not understanding your question is because they don't know what a com check is. Incidentally it is COMCHEK (google it if you don't know what it is). Anyway, I can see why the bank would contact the employer out of concern that they might be dealing with a dishonest employee, but I believe there are laws (google search Right to Financial Privacy Act (12 U.S.C. 3401 et seq.) that protect your privacy. I think I would be looking to change banks either way. Of course they'd probably consider you guilty for sure then, but I wouldn't want to do business with someone that assumes I'm dishonest. I'd report them to the BBB too! I hope you can get it all worked out!

Answer 2

The only thing I can think of is the bank was just trying to make you you hadn't "stolen" a com check from this particular company ?? (not sure how all that works but if like travellers checks, maybe)

Otherwise, I would be finding a different bank soon enough. As far as I know, their customers actions within the bank are supposed to be private.

Had problems myself long ago ... started working for a company that did biz with the bank I already had an account with. I ditch both before too long

Answer 3

I didn't see your first question, but this one is confusing also. It doesn't say enough about what exactly did your employer say, what explanation was given as to why the bank called. It might be that you are also not aware of enough of the details to accurately assess the situation as to whether something is wrong or not. That's not meant to be insulting. Only that the information you have is not complete enough to give an opinion.

Answer 4

I dont understand why the bank notified your place of work.
Was that like an accusation that you stole company cks??? If so, that would really pi$$ me off. I'd consult with an attny. Usually consultation fees arent that expensive. And it would ease my mind. Since that does seem like an invasion of one's privacy. I would probably let the bank know that. Then I'd close that account and do business elsewhere. Sounds like a buncha BS to me.

Answer 5

still cant understand u. but yes the bank cant give ur personal info out. but they can call the owners of the check and say ur name how much it was for. they are just making sure check was good. but u shouldnt have ur company comming down on u unless it was a bad check

Answer 6

Uhh... No, I can't think of any. Not in California. What I do know is that generally you're supposed to ask your boss for permission to do another job, but that's only if it would be a job you had over a month type thing....
And where do you work? What's the bank's name? Where do you reside?

Answer 7

If a "com check" means company check then the bank should be telling the company that you cashed it. They need to know all transactions that occur on their accounts to avoid fraud and theft.

Answer 8

Banks are not supposed to disclose personal transactions without documents from a court. You may want to ask an attorney. I would go ahead and change banks - change to one that is big!

Good luck with your situation.
