Can a Check that have been torn in half be cashed? (Not a personal check )

Question

Wachavia check and ADP payroll check....I tried opening the envelope to recheck amounts and I tore it!!

Answer 1

Hate to bust yer bubble, but you will need to get a new one issued. They need to send it thru the machine that scans it to say the endorsee has loot in the account to cover the amount being paid to you. Possibly...You know the banker and they know you and know your payroll check...POSSIBLY tape it and say oops my bad? But highly unlikely!

Answer 2

I'd suggest talking to the folks at your bank to see how best to handle it. If they can't cash it, there shouldn't be any problem getting it re-issued.
