Am I going to have to ask for them to send me another cheque........

[TheQueenOfQuotes]

or will the check I've got from my aunt to pay....

Mr & Mrs X (DH's initial) XXXXXX (our surname) be accepted by my bank to go into an account in just my name???

anyone???

please??

i think its ok

im sure ive cashed a joint cheque into my sole account before

really.....may pop into the bank tomorrow and ask them........I'm really at her (not just because of this - other much deeper running issues here but this is just the icing on the cake).......when DH and I first got married she sent us a cheque like it.....and we explained that not only do we not have a joint account if we did get one it wouldn't just have DH's initial on it.....and since then she's been pretty ok about sending the yearly christmas/birthday money cheque (she sends one a year and it's supposed to be split up and saved for the next 12 months birthdays etc ) to one of the other of us....but of course this time she didn't

Would you consider opening a joint account (e.g. savings) just to pay these kind of cheques into? Might be easiest way round?

Sam100 - no - definitely not on her behalf (this is a women who lives a 10 minute taxi ride away from her father - who is 94 and not expected to live much longer.......but she can only "manage" to get there once a fortnight....) - she's the ONLY person that has ever sent us a cheque like that.....

You'll probably have to get another cheque
We've been sent cheques in both names but banks would accept

Sorry should say wouldn't accept in sole account

had the same problem with nat west - would not accept a joint cheque into my sole account -
