Most checks, even though it doesn't specify on the check, expire after 90 days. You need to contact the original issuer and have a new check written to you. Lots of people change banks or account numbers, and the check may not be valid anymore. If that is the case and you attempt to cash it, and it bounces, you may be held financially liable.

You gave a check to a doctor 3 years ago he lost it He just found it Do you have to give him a new check?

Pay the doctor. He might have to charge you interest. Yes. You agreed to pay the bill which was owed. Since the check was not cashed, the bill was not paid. You are still obligated to pay the bill--both legally and ethically. After all, don't you want to make good on your debts? The 3-year-old check cannot be cashed, so a new one must be written.

What will happen if you cash a check you were sopposed to forword to your doctor?

It can depend on who the check was made out to. If it was made out to you, you haven't committed a crime, but the doctor is still out his money and will come after you for it. If the check was made out to the doctor and YOU cashed it and kept the money you have committed FORGERY and FRAUD.
