I wrote the correct amount, should I have to pay for their mistake?

By anonymous

I wrote a check for my rent where I am currently living. I wrote the correct amount of $792.00 but they cashed the check at $742.00. How they could make that mistake when it is clearly written and spelled out is beyond me. I showed them proof of a carbon copy and my bank statement showing the check image and it is clear they made a mistake. My bank did only charge me $742.00, but hey I wrote the check out right. My question is that am I liable to have to write them another check for the $50.00?

Did the check say seven hundred and ninety two dollars?

Yes the check I had written said seven hundred and ninety-two dollars. I have the carbon copy of the check and the check image from my online bank statement. The apartment complex only charged me $742 and so do the bank.

That is really strange. I’m sorry I don’t know the answer.
