how to cash this cheque that is in u.s. dollars?

Apr 30, 2004 3 Replies

Hi,



Would you kindly tell me if a cheque for 20 U.S. dollars given to me by an American hotel, can be endorsed by my simply signing on the back, and then paying it in to someone's account an at an American bank, please? I am now in the u.k.



Since the only person I know with an American account is not in the U.K. would an American bank be likely to accept the cheque without me being there for identification and might there be other complications?



My own bank here in the U.K. wants a £10 as a 'transaction charge', and told me there could be another charges as well, so for a $20 dollar cheque they said it was best to just forget it.



any advice on the best way to cash this cheque please?



many thanks. john west


FFS you posted this identical message a week or so ago. Didnt you like the answers you got then?

I thought I was experiencing deja vu. This has cost him more in time and worry that its worth, I would use the cheque to light a fire.
