1. I think the checks not beeing valid after 6 months claim is misunderstood, only if the check has a stamp on it saying ” Not Valid after 180 days” , otherwise don’t think the checks expire.

   • It is up to the bank… most won’t accept them.

2. This is foolish. it’s not fraud to cash check late. it’s fraud to remove money that the check is written against.

   • this is not true. writing *ANYTHING* on someone else’s check is considered fraud. Many ppl don’t know that.

5. A bank rep told me once that postdating a check is meaningless as a person can cash/deposit it before the date. Apparently dates don’t mean anything to the bank.

   • Again, it is up to the bank. They will often not notice or can choose to process it. Some won’t, though.

6. If someone wants to not cash my check for a year that’s s not fraud it’s negligence. And if he loses my check then it’s criminal negligence. Would have been more useful if you explain the difference between car and lar on a check. courtesy amount and legal amount.

7. Who even still writes checks these days?

8. To Hi: most banks do have rules that they won’t accept a check that is more than 6 months old.
   To FYI: I don’t know about your bank but every bank I know of will not accept a check for deposit even one day before the date written. Maybe if it’s deposited with a batch of other checks it’ll go unnoticed but if they see it, they won’t take it.

9. Just write the date, but put a period after 20. For example 1-2-20. That should work fine
