A 10-year-old girl from Thatcher, Arizona, named Kinley Maner, raised and sold chickens at the county fair, earning $2,100. After the sale, Kinley’s father deposited the check into her mother’s account at Chase Bank, but the bank froze the account and check, citing suspicion over a phone number for the Small Stock Association. Despite multiple attempts to verify the check, including visits from the person who wrote it, Chase refused to release the funds, leaving Kinley without her money. The family spent hours trying to resolve the issue, but the bank insisted that the check could only be verified through the disputed phone number.
