Hi,
This is my situation. We were three roommates paying rent/3 each for an apartment owned by a property management group. After 12 months we all moved out and they did not give us back my share of the money because my check was missing for one month.
Later after all the running to the bank to get back a copy of the check that was more than 6 months old, when I showed them the bank proof, they said that they deposited the check for people(our friends with whom I first stayed when i was new to the state and during which period I opened the bank account-that's how I got their address on my check) staying at a different address in the same apartment complex, because the address on my check matched that and not my address on the lease.
They are not willing to answer why they did not do that for all the other 11 months in that case and why they could not deposit the cheque in the correct account by matching the name on the cheque with the name on the lease, rather than going by the address.
All they say is that it is not our responsibility, those files are closed, we can't reopen them.
What can I do, is it fair to say that the cheque was used by someone else just going by the address when it clearly had my name and signature as well on it.
Thanks for the help in advance.
