Cheque with a word missing

No.

I once wrote a cheque for a drain cleaning company using my son's cheque book. Totally different signature. My son's bank paid it and even sent him a copy of it when he queried it! I did do it in error- I thought I could write a cheque without my glasses. I can't!!

I very much doubt if the bank would notice.

I’m not taking a chance so I rang the guy and will pop in tomorrow and he’ll write a new one, thanks everyone.

If you put it through a machine, I'd say "no".

If you pay it in personally, depends on the cashier. If you're lucky, the cashier won't notice and it will go through.

Sorry, I should have said I was the cash manger at a FTSE 100 company and I banked all sorts of nonsense cheques over the years - sometimes it was queried, sometimes not.

I would actually try and bank it if the figures are correct in the box - after all some people would say 'twelve hundred pounds' rather than one thousand, two hundred and 'one two hundred' is not that different to twelve hundred is it?

Thanks that’s as I thought dammit .

Sorry, Tanith but I doubt it.
