My chequebook is from 2003, can I still use it to write cheques?

Answer 1

Yes. You don't even need a chequebook to write a cheque. You can write one on anything you like, so long as it bears all the info on a cheque, your a/c number, sort code, name, amount and the date and signature.

Answer 2

This is a very interesting question. I realise that most of the answerers are saying that you can use it, but I am not so sure.
I am really interested to find the correct answer and so I am quite prepared to offer my services to become a guinea pig for you and to conduct an experiment on your behalf. I am not motivated by money, so I don't need any reward other than knowing that I am helping you to get to the true answer to this tricky conundrum.
What I would like you to do is this. Send me one of the blank cheques but just write your signature on it. At the same time, send me a little note to tell me how much is in the account. If it is only a small amount then firstly deposit as much money as you can possibly raise into the account. Several thousands would be best.
I will take the cheque to my bank and make a deposit to my account. Of course I will have to write my name where it says"Pay" and enter the full amount that you have in the account onto the cheque.
Wait one month and then order a statement from the bank.
When the statement arrives, check the closing balance.
If it is nil, then rest assured that you can use it to write cheques as soon as you have put some more money into the bank.
No, no, no. Please don't thank me for the help. Knowing that I have helped to educate you into the ways of our finest financial institutions will be reward enough for me.
Please reply immediately, if not sooner than that.
You already have my address - it is the one in Nigeria.

Answer 3

This should not be a problem as cheques printed in 2003 are still valid. Cheques have no expiration date unless you've written something on the date section and then the cheque becomes a stale-cheque which is normally after six months.

You should encounter no difficulty using your chequebook. Contact your issuing bank for more information.

Answer 4

I write about one cheque every six months. 30 cheques to a book. Never had any trouble at all. To me a 2003 cheque book is just a child.

Answer 5

In the UK you can write a cheque on anything and it's still legal, so long as it has all the relevant cheque numbers and details on it.

Write a cheque on blank paper, an egg (shell) or a cow, or anything else.

Answer 6

Yes I use a cheque book very rarely now... Mine is 1998 issue. I sent a cheque to cover an insurance premium and it went through quite OK. about 2 months ago ....

Answer 7

As long as your cheque guarantee card has the same account numbers as the cheque.

Answer 8

Yes you can. Your checks will never expire unless you closed your account. As long as the routing number and account number are correct you can keep using them. That's why you can write e-checks or a check over the phone. All someone needs to deduct money from your account is your routing number, account number and a check number.

Answer 9

If you still have the same account number at the same bank, and you have money in the account to cover the checks you write, then sure you can.

Answer 10

Yes. Make them payable to Christian Affiliate Security Hostels (CASH will be ok) and post them to me!
