Depends on how much the name is misspelled. If it's the first name - it's really not that big of a deal. If it's the last name - then that's a problem. Best thing to do, if it's the first name, just deposit it in your account and everything should be ok. If it's the last name - send it back to get it reissued. |

Take it to a bank teller, with your I.D., and ask her/him if you can deposit the check as is. It's probably OK. |

the previous answer is correct. It is probably a good idea to go through the teller if they will not charge you for it. |

Don't alter the check yourself, that's called tampering. You may have to return the cheque to the person who issued it for a new one. Nowadays, banks are quite strict with flawed cheques. |

if you go to your bank and explain,they are usually kind of understanding about it,especially if you are a good customer. |

depends how badly it is misspelled I would go to my bank first and ask them if they will cash it before sending it back or altering it |

My wife's name is spelled in an unconventional manner. About 50% of the checks that she receives are spelled incorrectly. She has never had a problem depositing a check yet. |

Sign it the wrong way and then sign it again the right way. You'll have no problems. |

When you go to cash the check you will have to sign it like it is on the check and then sign it the right way below that.And show I.D. |

That happened to me about a month ago. I had a rebate check come in with my last name mispelled (by two letters). I didn't even notice until I was already at the ATM. I crossed my fingers and deposited it. It worked! :) |

Have your ID with you, sign the check as the name is written. |

Everyone is right. YOu just need to see if the bank will accept it. The issuer of the check has 3 years to have it sent back for improper endorsement for sending it through the bank. |
