Misspelled last name on a check

[Sirrahsim]

I hope that they know that that is all that I need to do when I go to the bank
I'm going to open up a local bank account tomorrow so that I can actually go to a teller and then I will hopefully deposit the check and go buy our grill!!

Oh, you don't already HAVE an account opened? Trying to open an account with that check, hmm. It should still be OK. Look at the check. Your Social Security Number is on there, isn't it? You should still be OK.

The last four of my husband's social are on there. It is written out to both of us and we will both be there. Come to thik of it it has our address on there as well
We have a money order that we can use to open the account or if we need to we can write them a check from other bank. I don't think I'd try to OPEN the account with that check.

Missy, every quarter I receive a check from my Grandmother's estate for rental property. For some reason, they have my name with a middle initial of E. when my correct initial is W. I have always signed my name correctly on the back and there has never been a problem.

I don't know if there would be more of a problem with the last name spelled incorrectly but I'll bet your bank will take it anyway. Good luck!!
