did you tell her you were dying or something, what would make someone give that amount. Maybe she ment to say I'll Just pay you for a couple or years up front.  :-\ If she put 480 that would be four years, and it looks like she almost did at the numbers, mabe she just got alittle muddled.

This lady is one of the few customers that I don't have their phone number; she's not anchient, but not young either.

Obviously I'm not going to cash it; I'll pop in and see her tomorrow!

A few months back I received two cheques in an envelope.  One was my £11er.  The other was for about 2 grand made out to someone else.  Naturally I sent the big one back return of post but I thought it must have been my birthday at first   ;D

Hi
I see the alteration of the amount in figures is not initialled so the bank won't accept it anyway.

Spruce, in a previous life I was the 'Paymaster' for an infantry battalion; and when on operations I also provided banking services to the lads in the form of the cashing of cheques.

I could process literally hundreds of cheques per day and if I ever found one that was incorrect, rather than hunting the soldier down, I'd just amend the cheque myself and scribble some initials!

That was not correct, nor legal, but it worked; and I still do the same when I get given a cheque and don't check it there and then.

So I could've easily have scribbled an initial down and cashed the cheque.

However, I knocked on the lady this morning and gave her the cheque back and she paid me in cash.  Her explanation was, was that she'd made a mistake on a cheque that was for someone else; left it in the cheque book; and then wrote out a new cheque, but pulled the old one out and gave it to Wor Lass by accident; she said she'd had a lot on her mind.

But - changing the subject to something more helpful - if a customer gives you a cheque and there's a mistake, I always amend and initial it myself; it saves faffing about.

i have cashed cheques with F.W.C and my name after it they still go through no problems.

I have even sent cheques through the post to the bank with no name on to anyone or date just the amount they write it on there self! in the bank. I forgot to write it out.

Very nice!
That cheque should be void as the numbers are difficult to read.
