Hi,


Friend has some cheques between 12 and 18 months old which she has not yet cashed - are these still valid? Or is there an 'expiry date' on cashing cheques?

A cheque is only valid for 6 months from the date which is written on the top of it. It's null and void after that I'm afraid.
 
Allegedly,Jack Charlton used to pay for everything by cheque,because he knew nobody would want to cash a cheque signed by himself.The deadline was ......6 months I'm afraid!(sure she must be loaded in cash anyway if she's not cashing them straight away!
 
Alternatively the cheques could be re-dated by the people who gave them to her and they initial the date change or if they are from a Company she can send them back and get them re-issued.
