    This is, in fact, an illegal practice in NY State. You have to be State licensed to charge a fee over 99 cents when you cash a check and within the past year NY has, in fact, begun to enforce that law in a big way. Ten percent - if you are licensed, which you apparently are not - is far over the limit which is below 2 percent.

    There have been any number of arrests at mom and pop stores for this same thing.

    The Court will not enforce an illegal act so I see no relief from you from the Court system, the basis of your claim being that illegal act and I see you subjecting yourself to possible arrest, penalties and fines.

    I don't see you getting your money back without calling this transaction to the attention of the Police.
