  5 0 Call the old roomate before cashing it , not everyone has alot of cash in their account if they're living paycheck to paycheck and if she forgot about it it might cause her account to overdraw which will cause way more drama. Be nice and explain that it had been lost but point out that it was for something that was covered if she throws a fit sublevelthree answered in Personal Finance 4 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 0 The bank won't cash a check more than 90 (or 120, depending on the account or the bank) days past the date it is written. elm answered in Personal Finance 4 months ago | Report 1 comment by O my captain… 0 0 I have had the experience where my bank will cash anything, as long as I have the money in my account to cover it. Years ago, I took an outdated refund check for $5 to a strange bank, and asked the young teller if I could cash it. Despite it clearly being beyond the valid date, she did. I took the money and ran, never looking back. Don't know if she got in trouble or not. I didn't lie or mislead at all. Just asked if I could cash it with ID.

  2 0 While technically banks don't cash checks after 3 or 4 months, that is NOT always the case. So it's quite possible she COULD cash this check. But calling the old roommate first is definitely the courteous thing to do. Sadly, many folks do not balance checkbooks/keep good registers, and so just trust their ATM or online balance (eep!) and so cashing it without calling first is kind of slimey. It would be best to call the former roommate and ask if she could trade her the old check for a current one.
