I've been hunting around my house, and van looking for a cheque a customer issued to me.

Turned everything upside down, inside out, and just gave up resigned to asking for another one. 

Written out my apologetic letter requesting they cancel with the bank and issue me another cheque when it confirmed as cancelled. 

Printed it out, and was about to put it in an envelope - when i found it in my scraper pouch in my bum bag.  : :

God knows why i put it there, but i feel much better now. 

Firstly cos i found the cheque, and secondly so i dont look a complete numpty asking for another, cos i lost it. Never had to yet, and i dont intend ever to have too.

Bit of luck they are paying via bank transfer in future

That's handy. I gave a £10 customer a wrong address and couldn't retrieve the cheque. She cancelled it and it cost her a tenner. Which ended up costing me the tenner she owed.

Just a tip when this sort of thing happens.....tell the bank it was lost in the post.....Ours don't charge then for canx

Yes lesson learnt.
I didn't know she would cancel, cos no-one else could cash it unless they had a bank account in my name anyway.
I then never realised it cost a tenner to cancel a cheque. Nor did she.
I accepted it with good grace though. She's a top customer. I never see her when i clean and she posts payment straight away.

Bank it anyways,

they never check the cheques, i have put through cheques with no name no signatures no dates, and they all go through.

Some a year late! twice

The account will probably be closed by now.
