So I'm guessing an 11-yr old cheque from an employer can't be cashed?

[Lynn49]

Okay, don't laugh!! I know our Daughter did!
I found a cheque I never cashed from a former employer and asked her if it's casheable...she wrote back....LMAO..no, Mom, sorry...
I think she was laughing at me. Can you imagine anyone forgetting to do that?!
It was when my hubby had his heart attack, was hospitalized, had stents put in, etc, etc...and I guess I just shoved it in the drawer and never thought about it again!!

I think that's pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever done...but thankfully hubby is fine, and we obviously didn't miss the money.

But sheesh!!! D-u-m-b!!!

Ha ha! To funny!!!

If the company's still in business, I'd phone or e-mail and ask if they can issue a replacement. There's no harm asking and who knows..they may just honour their debt.

I very specifically asked people not to laugh, vesper!

Not this company! It's a charity I worked for, for a couple of years...I was their rep for all of northern Ontario...I left with the "I can't give you what you want..." line. LOL!!!
From the movie....um......eh......hm......something about a wedding.....

You can't cash a check once it becomes 6 months old. It's then a "stale" check.

Yep...our DD's a Financial Planner and after the "LMAO", that's what she told me...

You could always frame it just for fun or as a reminder. LOL
Is it an antique yet?

I love the post Lynn!! Makes me feel so normal because I once paid the same bill twice in the same month!!

[gracesmommy]

oh lynn that stinks!
i once deposited my chq from my employer and accidently hit two extra 0's. oooopsie!

[Lynn49]

Well, Walks, Gracesmommy...I feel normal now...but it was just over 1000.00!!!
I could burn it...I've never set fire to 1000.00 before....

[ellis123]

Whoopsie! I would be bawling over a $1000 cheque that did not make it to my bank account.

[Natalka]

Oh, gee, that's crazy, but too bad....

Gosh, I wish I had the kind of life where I could have been in that circumstance to forget to cash a cheque!

[cherrycheers]

Okay, im not gonna to... but sorry...

so if it can be cashed, you will get your extra money, thats really surprising.
