Can I Cash this check that is to me and my college??


Question Posted Wednesday August 25 2010, 8:55 pm

My mother paid for my college tuitionwith her credit card but was expecting a check from my grandfather to pay it off, he sent the check but it is to me and my school, is there any way i can cash this check? because i do not believe the school can come with me, and why would they, they are not getting this money.


---BELOW IS BACKROUND INFORMATION---
My grandfather is having a hard time just giving me and my mother the money that he offered on my 18th birthday I am going to a community college tuition is $1850 and when we recieved our bill with added fees it came up to $2062. First he thought i was lying about the cost (he looked it up and only saw Tuition=$1850)so i took partial pictures of the bill. He claimed he wanted to see the whole bill so i told him i would have my mother fax it to him (she never did because she was so insulted). She called him and he called me and said basically hes sorry he didnt mean that he didnt trust me blahblahblah and that he is only paying for tuition NOT fees. So i accepted gladly. We got the check today and it is paid to My Name and Schools Name. I registered past the due date for the bill so we had to provide the money that day so my mother used two different credit cards and we planned on cashing this check and paying the debt off. With both of our names on the check dont we both have to be there? What should i do because i highly doubt a college will come with me to get a check that is not even for them...???

Go into the bank and explain this to the teller. They have a degree of leeway when it comes to this sort of thing and will likely hear you out.

That is definitely the first thing to try.

If it doesn't work, your school should also be able too endorse the cheque with a stamp or letter, rather than the person standing right there with you. Talking to the payment office at the school can be your second step.

Best of luck with it.
