See if you can find a shop which will cash third party cheques.  I can't help more than that as I don't live in London.  Apart from that, open an account and get yourself a hole-in-the-wall card.

Depends on what you mean.\n\nMany companies using clearing or payroll accounts setup specifically for this purpose. Generally, they don't have money in them until the very last minute that it is needed.  For example, if I send out 1000 payroll checks, history might tell me that 75% get cashed in two days, 10% more the 3rd day, and the remaining 15% over the next four days.  I am going to fund that payroll account the amounts that I think are needed for that day, and keep the rest invested until later.  If the account is overdrawn, the company gets charged something.  Companies that are this savvy about their cashflow, usually have agreements in place with their bank that allow them to overdraft the account and be charged daily interest until they put the funds in to covered the cleared checks.  So, if you are working for a company that might fall into this category, this could be a possibility.\n\nThe other possibility is that the company just doesn't have the money to make payroll.  If you think this is the case, contact your state's employement security office immediately and file a claim for uncompensated work.

you should call your bank that issues your checks immediately if you haven't already done so... They will close your account and you won't be held responsible for those checks.

Stop going to that certain teller.  Or yah, change banks if they force you to do something that is obviously not what the corporate office wants cuz they are the ones who make up their own deposit slips or it's the pre-made ones in your checkbook.  Either way, each field has a function.  Fill it out anyhow and if they wont accept your deposit, why would you want to deposit there?

Typically your bank will only hold you responsible for a small amount, say $50 but check with them.  Perhaps they will not charge you anything because you acted so quickly.  Don't worry though, it is not the end of the world.  Just take deep breaths and hang in there and it will all work out in the end.

Contact the person whom you wrote the ckeck to, and tell them you will bring them cash, to take care of it, make sure you get your check back, ,if you dont get your check back, dont pay then untill u get it ! dont go to the D.A. office, then call the court house and ask for a hearing, show  the court  the  check, bring your proof the check, and you will half to pay the court to get rid of the warrent, if you dont have the money, they will make a payment plan, or if you do this alot they could lock you up depending on the law there , but dont worrie to much, cause, there about 6.2million bad checks , out there and the fact you come forward to take care of this they might just drop the warrent, good luck

At the most they can screw you. They can definatley take a strict action coz its not the bank money its the money from general public which goes to bank as saving. Make a clear statment to them that you are willing to pay at later date.

Our firm requires it.  I guess they are allowed.  I don't mind the direct deposit, but it seems wrong to force it.

I'm sorry that you feel persecuted because somebody had the temerity to ask you to pay back the money that you spent, did you think that Christmas had come early or what?  You spent it, you pay it back!  No wonder the banks interest rates are so high.----I cannot understand why so many answers encourage you to dodge your responsibility.

i don't think it's a law...mandatory time clock, i hate it without a time clock, it seems i got jipped when i worked like that. i would find another job if your place doesnt' have a time clock. there's no proof at all of what you worked, and if your check is short, you can't say antyhing about it!!!

My suggestion go apply for another job,if they are chosing you so why not use chosing for employers,as a working class you cant afford to wait until they call you(unless you got saving)

To me the best way to save money is put aside some amount every week systematically you can't miss one deposit, then forget about that money is there, there is no other way around unless you have several thou to play with..☺

You can maybe have a friend agree to call you to make sure you do what you've committed to. And if you don't then you have to pay that friend for everytime you back out. I know this sounds a bit silly but it just may work. Kinda like a curse jar. (you know, people who have a problem with cursing have to put money in a jar everytime they do it) except, agree to pay your friend a fixed amount if you don't committ to a particular goal.  You'll probably end up sticking to those goals if the thought of losing your money annoys you enough.

You can ask for counter-cheque from them, 3 or 4 cheques at a time. they have to give it to you. Its free~\n\nIts just another way to get chqs, if you don't need styling

I live in the USA and struggle everyday. Living paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes not eating so the rest of my family can. I have to roll coins to pay for a few gallons of gas in my van so I can get to work to make more small pocket change. Then the govn't takes so much tax out of my check it leaves me barely enought to pay the bills. Then the mailing system (which is operatted by the govn't) is slow and delivers my payments past the due date, then a late fee is applyed to my account. Then I apply for government help and they say I make too much money to get assistance. But I see others around town riding in high priced cars, going to pickup a monthly government check. Those pple live off the taxes that are taken from my check to sit at home jobless and feed their 9 kids without a father. Then I see them pull into the casino and blow their whole Social Security check, which that tax money also gets taken out of my paycheck. I go to the doctor and pay a $25 co-pay just to see the doctor, then pay the remaining balance that my crappy insurance doesn't pick-up (which also gets deducted from my paycheck) . I have to pay another co-pay for any perscriptions that the doc. perscribes. At the same time I see someone with name brand shoes and clothes on tell the nurse that they are on MEDICAID (operated by tax money the govn't takes from my paycheck) Therefore, they pay nothing! It's all free for them.They might have to pay a small $5 fee for medicine. That the rest of their bills is picked up by the government (the taxes taken from my paycheck). It sicken me to see that I am barely able to hang on, but other people take advantage of the government assistance by continuing to be lazy and unresponsible.  Trust me...this is no picnic. Unless your famous, inharitted money, workaholic, or supported by the government....you are living paycheck to paycheck and nothing more.
