Unethical Conduct by Check City

By just paying $25 and canceling a lost check you would assume that you are protected.   However a recent experience that a Draper business man had suggests the opposite.   A check was dropped off at an employees' house and not delivered personally.  The employee then claimed he never received the check.   A new check was written and the old check was cancelled through the bank.  When the worker cashed the original check at check city, the business man was required to pay the check.  

 

Check City should have gone after the worker for the payment of the check that was cashed, not after the business man who had cancelled the check.   They shouldn't have allowed the transaction to go through if the check wasn't valid and since they did it they should pay the price and try to get the money back from the employee who received double pay.   It is not just for Check City to require the business man to pay for the check that was cancelled. He lost money paying for the cancellation of the lost check and then lost the full amount of the check in addition to that.   Check city should right the problem by taking a loss for their mistake or regaining their loss from the unethical employee that cashed both checks.
