how do i cash a check?

Question

my roomate wrote me a check before he moved for pg&e. he adrressed it to pg&e. but i had already paid it!! he didnt exactly leave on good terms.. now i have a check to pg&e that he wrote for me, but its already paid! how do i cash it?

Answer 1

If you are still a customer send it to PG&E with a bill and they will apply it to future charges for the houshold. If the bill is in your name send it to the company with a bill, then ask for a refund of the overpayment.

Answer 2

I am not sure I am clearly understanding what you are saying but I think this is what you can do. If the check is made payable to PG&E, print that on the back of the check where it is to be endorsed. Then print "Pay to (your name)" and sign your name. In some cases at some banks they will cash it. Other than that, try to make good with you roommate and have him send you another check.

Answer 3

He probably wrote it to pg&e coz he wasn't aware that you've paid for it. If it's a crossed check, you won't be able to cash it. The only way you can get your money back from him is to ask him to issue another check or better yet ask him for cash.

Answer 4

Send the check to PG & E, they will credit your account with the overpayment. Once the check clears request a refund, now the check will be in your name.

Answer 5

You can't cash a check that is not for you. You will either have to give up the money or try contacting your ex-roommate to have him rewrite your check.

Answer 6

I don't think you can cash it since the name for who it is for is not you. Try telling him to get you the cash and return him the check. Hopefully he will comply.

Answer 7

send it to them, and then you will have a credit on your account
