Seven years ago the power company paid Robert Jenkins his deposit. He lost the check. Since he is a man of principle, he pressed on – here is his story.
Robert Jenkins, now 71, had rented an apartment and moved out in 1998. Shortly afterwards, Duke Power company mailed him a $41.18 deposit refund check.
The check got misplaced by Jenkins’ former roommate, but was found seven years later.
Jenkins then contacted Duke Power before he attempted to cash the 7-year-old deposit refund. His bank returned the check stating the account was closed. His bank also charged him $15 for the returned check.
