Hi, I'm new to this website, so I hope I'm posting in the right area!
I have recently married my partner and me and her have received alot of cheques made out too 'Mr & Mrs Thomson'. We don't have a joint account, and wen't to open one and they said that we can't due too poor credit (me). Can I pay in cheques to my account with cheques made out to both of us?
same thing happened to us when we got married we both just signed the back of them as in joe bloggs mary bloggs even though I hadn't change my name. If that doesn't work bring your marriage cert down to show the change of name
We're recently married and just signed the backs of the cheques and lodged them. No problems but I have heard it depends on the bank/branch.
Almost every cheque we got was made out to X & X Husband's Surname - not complaining about the cheques but surely people realise that even if you are going to change your name it's not instantaneous and you have to get a cert etc before the bank will change it on your account.
