Cash donation Check?

Question

I have signed up for the aids walk, and when I went the leader in charge said that he couldn't take the check because the person made it out to the wrong person.

So how can i cash this check?

Answer 1

Usually a check has an address, so just mail the person a letter and explain what happened. Be sure to include your contact information. Either that or ask the person the check is made out to cash it for you.

Answer 2

You need to take the check back to the person who wrote it. They can write a new check, and void the original. or, they can cross out the incorrect name, and write in the correct one. They would need to initial the change.
