to cash a cheque does it have to have the same name on it as ur bank account? :S

my passport and bank is my dads surname gibson, but my national insurance number and anything else i sign is my mums name soper, and i had my operation done soper, as i changed it legally to that, but i just havent changed my bank and all that over yet

i just got a referall cheque and its in soper! so how do i cash it coz my bank card says gibson..

confusing i know lol! any help would be great! xx

Hhhmmm you may have to change your bank account name hun as I’m pretty sure they have to match x

You can’t hun you need to change ur name on your bank account. And passport. If you’ve changed your name legally to soper – everything needs to be put in that name xxx

Or try taking you change of name deeds to the bank when u put the cheque in! xxx

usaully they only accept cheques in your full name, but maybe if if you explain to the bank they might accept it !!

Yeah they do have to match. I’m sure if you give the bank documentary evidence they will change your account and pay the cheque straight in. x

ooh ok thanks girls il take the documents of my name change with me n change my bank over, gota order new passport anyway so mite aswel get it all done now!

thankyouxxx

they have to match, i had this hassle with my son as he has a different surname to me (in the process of changing his to my married name-to-be), he has my parents last name and i got a cheque with his first name and my last name, and asked the bank what to do, and i had to ask for the cheque to be re-written correctly (i felt cheeky asking), but the good thing about cheques is theres no end date on cashing them in, so as long as your name change is legal, then the bank will change your account details, and you can cash it in xx

i had this hassel with a cheque i got, i tried to ring who it was from the get it changed, sadly no chance so had to cash it at a shopper check thing, had to take id though in cheque name if that makes sence?? xx

I had a similar problem hun, the bank said they would accept the cheque if I had the official document used to change my name e.g marriage cert, deed pole certificate. I took that in and showed them and they were fine so if you changed your name at the solicitors via deed pole, just take your deed poll documents in with you, should be fine

Ooh great thnx hun yeh I got my deed poll docs! Xx
