You can and it would probably bounce due to insufficient funds, unless the payor had bank coverage for IF, then the bank would pay it.
The payor [you'r the payee, the one who should be receiving the money] would be penalized by the bank if they dint have the IF coverage, as I understand it, I've never been in that situation.

Are checks written by a depositor and paid by the bank?
Yes, a person with a bank account (a depositor) can write a check against that account for a sum of money. The person given the check (who the check is made out to) then presents it to their bank and the banks between them move the money from the account of the person who wrote the check to the account of the person who was given the check.
How do you cash a check someone wrote you?
There are two ways to do this. If you have a bank account of your own, and if your bank account has as much money or more, as the amount of the check, then you can take it to your bank and they will cash it for you. If you do not have such a bank account, your alternative is to take the check to the bank which issued the check (the address is printed on the check) and to also take legal identification with you (such as a driver's license or a passport) and they will cash it for you. I will also note that if neither of these alternatives is going to work for you, you might consider depositing the check in your account, or opening a bank account in which to deposit the check, rather than cashing it. It will clear, usually within a week, and you can then withdraw the money from your account. You do still need ID to open an account, however. Without ID, the world of banking is closed to you. Banks need to be able to confirm your identity.
Who is responsible for a bounced check?
The person who owns the account. If you use an account that is not yours that is stealing and is against the law for identity theft, fraud, and could bring you jail time. If it is your account and the check bounces you owe the money for the amount of the check and the fees from the bank. A bounced check can run as much as 50.00 in fees.
If there is no money in a checking account can you cash a check?
There are a couple ways to answer this question. 1) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN OUT TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but have no money in YOUR account: Unless it is a government check or a payroll check you will not be able to cash it. Most banks now require you to provide your Social Security Number when cashing it instead of your account number (since there is no money in your account to "hold the check" against.) IF you still need to cash it you can always bring it to the bank that it was "drawn off of" on every check it says what bank that persons account is at. 2) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN YOU TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but the person whose account it's coming from does not have enough money (or no money) you'll still be able to cash it, however the person whose account its coming from will be hit with an overdraft fee. Also, when you bring it to your bank to cash it and it is "drawn off" a different bank the money may be drawn out of YOUR OWN account. Banks dont like giving out money for free. I highly suggest you bring it to the bank it was drawn off of to avoid any problems. 2) IF YOU WROTE OUT A CHECK.. and dont have enough money in your account the check might go through, but you will be hit with a big overdraft fee for going below $0.
What does it mean to cash in a check?
Cashing a check means converting a instrument of money like a check to the money it is worth. Let us say you get a check for $1000 from a friend and you deposit it into your account with your bank, you will get the money deposited into your account. This is called Cashing a check.

Is Applegatesweepstakes a scam?
Yes it is. Hundreds of people think so. i called the bank the check was wrote on Boston private bank and trust they informed me this is a Nigerian scam. they are investigating it. you cash the check and send them the money then the check comes back to your account as bad and your bank makes you cover all the money and fees that occur. do not cash that check! contact the bank it is wrote on to receive further instructions.
What do you call it when your check gets regected because there isn't any money in your account?
That is a bounced check and it will cost you money in fees levied by the bank and the bank of the person or business you wrote the check to. Each day your account is in the red the more money you will owe in fees. It is also illegal to write a bad check so there can be legal consequences. One bad check is a mistake, but more than one can be seen as a pattern. I suggest you get money into the account as fast as you can.
Suppose your bank honors a check for which you dont have?
When a bank honors a check for which you do not have the money, it is considered an overdraft. The bank will recover its money as soon as the funds hit your account and charge an overdraft fee for honoring the check when the funds were not present.

What if you wrote a check without having the funds in account but by the time check cleared the funds were in the account?
If you wrote a check when you had no funds in your checking account but had funds by the time the check hit the bank, you are fine. Sometimes it can take a check three days to clear, but not always.

Can a check be cahed that was wrote six years ago and the account in which it was written is now closed?
No. If the account is now closed, there is no money there available for the bank to pull out and give to you. Your only recourse, is to see if the person/business who wrote the check originally will give you a NEW check for the same amount if you give them the old check (showing them that it was never cashed.)
Can you change a check in to money?
Yes, a check is a bank draft drawn on an account. Provided the account has funds and is payable to you, it can be cashed at your bank or any check cashing place or if you go to the bank it was drawn on with ID, they will cash it for you.
