Can you sue someone for not cashing a check?

[michigancat]

do whatever you want.

Yes, I think suing someone for not cashing a check is a fine idea. I mean why not?

[OK_Cat]

i feel like i'm going to sue fanning if he doesn't sue trim that guy

Until a month ago I had a check in my wallet for $50 someone wrote me for a ticket to the Mizzou football game in 2011. I found it when I moved about 4 months ago and they wouldnt let me cash it because it had been so long. When I told the person who wrote the check they just gave me $50 in cash.

Moral of the story is checks are stupid, pay cash.

[Emo EMAW]

Email from Grandma EMO:

"Emo EMAW:  I have received two bank statements since Christmas and neither shows that you cashed the check which you should have received when we opened presents.  On M & G's Christmas tree I hung two envelopes; one for ***** and one for you and Mrs. Emo EMAW - each had a $50 check enclosed because I just didn't know what to get for presents.
 
Let me know if you did not get the check and I will cancel that one and send you a new one!  Sorry - Grandma"

So I write back:

"Hey Grandma, I didn't cash it, and I won't. I'm using it as a bookmark in the book you got me.  No need to give money for gifts.  Your company, good stories, and wisdom I value much more.

Love, Emo EMAW"

She replies:

"How nice of you to say those things about me!  I must say you are stretching it a bit saying that I have "wisdom" though!  Perhaps I have absorbed  bit more in my 91+ years than I realized!  Anyway, I just wanted to be sure that the check was not floating around someplace and would louse up my bookkeeping if some strange person cashed it eventually.  I wish we could visit more some time - would love to hear about your travels, etc.       Grandma"

So you didn't thank her for the check when she first gave it to you?

[Emo EMAW]

Yes I did she's 91 and doesn't remember too well.

You have a really nice grandma, Emo EMAW

[Mrs. Gooch]

I'm impressed that Emo's 91+ year old Grandma uses email.

Rumblings of disgruntled single mother using info from check to excise child support from dead beat dad.

LOL, good luck with that. Fanning doesn't have any money to excise.

You wrote a check for $17? Why not just give this unnamed person cash?

Cause I didn't have any cash on me at the moment and this pud individual was getting ready to head back to Wichita where he lives.

You don't have cash on you but you are carrying a checkbook?  Get it together Fanning

I always keep a check in my wallet just in case, and I rarely carry cash 

[ChiComCat]

I use maybe 4 checks a year for random things.  Almost every bill/utility/mortgage is taken directly from my bank account.  I think the last check I wrote was for my house.

[Daiji]

Would you really trust someone who wrote a check for $17 to be the kind of person responsible enough to pay you back in cash 'next time'?

[Trim]
