I received a check for a rebate, but they dropped the first letter of my first name and changed the second letter (the other 5 letters of my first and and my whole last name are correct). They have my correct address on the check. I remember in high school they said to endorse it incorrectly (the way it is on the check) first, then correctly - is that still true? Any bankers/tellers out there?

You're right. Sign it the way its spelled on the check and then sign it correctly.

I worked at a bank for several years. We were always told to sign it the way it was written (wrong) and then under it, endorse it correctly. The teller may ask you for your ID but if it is a bank you normally to business at, you should not have any problems.

Sign your normal signature - not your printed name. I have a very long last name and no one spells it right. But, when I sign a cheque, I sign it the way I usually do. Besides, how many signatures have you seen that you can actually read every letter?
Don't change your signature because someone can't spell or type.

Yes, sign it the way it is listed on the check, then sign below that with your correct spelling. I've done it before

Definitely do what they taught you in school -- Endorse it the way it is spelled, then Endorse it again correctly spelled right underneath.

a number of them are close - yet no cigar while the verify is made out to your enterprise it truly is the way it would be recommended PAY TO THE ORDER OF (call OF YOUR economic enterprise) YOUR economic enterprise'S handle FOR DEPOSIT basically call OF your enterprise form of THE ACCOUNT into which you're making the deposit do no longer manually sign the verify which incorporate your call.

Contact the people that sent you the check if all fails.

You are correct. Or you can use my method... have a signature that is so awful looking that nobody can tell what you wrote! LOL

If you are depositing into your personal account your bank knows you so just write your correct name.
