Let then know as soon as possible. Tellers are required to cash checks exactly as they appear. Even if the give you less cash and keep more in their drawer it is bad for them and they may be disciplined. Always let them know

Can a cashiers check be cashed by the remitter if it has been made out for the wrong amount?

It is possible but does depend upon the policies of the issuing bank. The check can be negotiated by the remitter, however, the remitter's bank may not allow them to exchange the check for cash - they may require it be deposited bank into the remitter's account. The remitter would have access to the funds per that bank's funds availability policy, but no later than the next day in most cases.


How do you Correct a Mistake on the Amount on A Check- Husband used his last check to cover a utility bill and he wrote the wrong amount. Can he cross out and initial?

To the best of my knowledge, only one correction is allowed on a check. Scratch through the mistake, write the correction, then initial it. when it is only a minor mistake, you correct it, then you must initial it where it is corrected, If it is a bigger mistake then you rip up the cheque and write a new one.


An official check was sent to a credit card company as payment but it never posted to the credit card but the check amount was drawn from the bank account so who is responsible for tracing the check?

The consumer is, as only he or she has access to the canceled/posted original check. Account information relating to the credited account should appear on one or both sides of the check. It is possible the wrong account was credited.


Do you staple check stubs to front or back of backup documents?

Generally, stapling the check stub to the front of the supporting documentation is a good idea. You can easily see that the item is paid, the date and amount of the payment. All of this information is laid out the same on every check stub, so it is easier to review the payments. However, there is nothing wrong with stapling the check stub to the back...or even the middle...if you prefer.

Your tax refund check was sent to wrong address?

Contact the tax agency (state or federal) that was supposed to issue the refund and ask if the check made payable to you was ever cashed. If not, it can be re-issued - if it was, ask them how to proceed since you allege that you never received it.

How important is a bank teller?

Extremely important! A bank couldn't run without bank tellers. They are the first person the customer sees and has the most interactions with. If the customer has a bad experience with a teller, it leaves a bad impression of the bank. Tellers also influence how much a bank can make through referrals or loose by cashing a bad check or giving the customer the wrong amount of cash. In my opinion, tellers have the most important job at the bank, but unfortunately they get paid the least.

Is a medium another word for a fortune teller?

Personally if someone called me a fortune teller, I would be offended. To me a fortune teller is someone who is playing psychic, a show for the rubes so to speak (at carnivals, sideshows, parties, etc.) Where as a medium is someone who is actually communicating with the spirits, or a higher power. There is nothing wrong with being a fortune teller but I personally use that term to define someone who is clearly doing readings for entertainment only.
