Attorney says lawsuit against check casher is 'frivolous'

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Jackson and says the company instructed its employees not to tell customers what fees they were being charged.

All American's policy and training documents tell employees to "never tell the customer the fee," and the company tells employees to deflect customers' questions about fees as long as possible and to show customers their receipts as quickly as possible, the lawsuit says.

In June 2014, the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance ordered All American to stop some transactions such as using the proceeds from one delayed-deposit check to pay the principal or fee owed on any other delayed-deposit check.
