Could you not just make the cheque out to "Cash"?
I want to post Alice and Bob a cheque.
(and my shadowy recollection is that a cheque must be payable to a specified person)..
The payee of a cheque should be unambiguous.
I got a cheque/check made out to me and my wife recently. Bank refused to accept as it was crossed and we don't have a joint account. So I crossed off her name and initialled the change with the account holder's initials and re presented the cheque and it was accepted.
Source: [broken link removed]A bill of exchange is an unconditional order in writing, addressed by one person to another, signed by the person giving it, requiring the person to whom it is addressed to pay on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time a sum certain in money to or to the order of a specified person, or to bearer.
Thanks for that feedback Gulliver. I've already posted the cheque. It's a relatively small amount, so I don't expect too much scrutiny. Given the advice previously received on the thread, I made it payable to "Alice AND Bob".
In one of the other threads 10to1 outlined a "creative" way to "bypass" bank cheque handling practices!
Note the wording "to or to the order of a specified person, or to bearer". The acceptable alternative to the "specified person" is whoever the specified person orders the cheque be paid to (which is done by endorsement).
