I have a check from 2003 from job that was never cashed, how do I get a new check given to me?

You should have asked for a new check to be issued back in 2003 when you could not find it.  At this point, the time and effort required to secure another check probably isn't worth $86.62.

If they claim they never received it, the first thing I would do is stop payment on that check, then send a second one. \n\nI don't think there are any laws against them cashing both checks. But, you can always sue them to try and get the money back, but then you are talking about legal fees and attorney fees, and so on. Depending on the amount of the check, it just may not be worth it.

Check with your treasurer's department for your state. But there is a statute of limitations and it could have been absorbed into the state as unclaimed.

I would try to get a new id first.  You will probably need it for more things than just trying to cash a check.  But call the banks and see what they will take as id for you in order to  cash it.

I would recommend contacting your payroll department first.  They usually coordinate this.  You could also try speaking with your old union steward.  If you do need to contact the union, however, you could try the following for a letter:\n\n\nYour address\nCity, State zip\nJune 23, 2006\n\n\nVia [e-mail, U.S. Mail, hand-delivery, fax, etc.]\nUnion Name\nATTN:  Treasurer\nUnion Address\nCity, State Zip\n[if e-mail or fax, put e-mail address or fax number here]\n\nDear Sir or Madam:\n\nThe purpose of this letter is to request that you stop deducting union dues from my check.\n\nPlease be advised that I have been employed in a non-union position since [date here].  Because I have not been a union member since [date here], it is my understanding that I am no longer required to pay union dues.\n\nPlease let me know if there is anything further I need to do to expedite this request.\n\nIf you have any questions or require anything further, please feel free to e-mail me at [e-mail address here] or call me directly at [cellphone, office phone or both here].\n\nThank you.\n\nSincerely yours,\n\n\n[your name here]\n\ncc:  [employer name here], Payroll Dept.\n\nGood luck!

In court, this can very easily be proven...especially if you have proof that you cashed the check.  You may think about hiring a lawyer, but if you have hard proof that it was a check that was cashed you will be OK.

Oh come on.  Did your check bounce or not?  Are you trying to burn them on the technicality that you have a stamped piece of paper knowing your check never cleared?  \n\nIf your check never cleared, you owe them the money plus probably interest.  If you have paid them, send them a copy of the canceled check along with a copy of your stamped documents indicating you paid it already.

If you have given them reasonable amount of time to get it to you then you should call the IRS at 1 800 829 1040. Do not call before Feb 15. you might have to go by your last check stub and file a form 4852 a substitute for form w-2

IM NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE WHAT THE EXACT ANSWER IS BUT IF YOU HAVE A LAW LIBRARY IN YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY THEN I WOULD START THERE. BUT IN MY STATE THEY EITHER MAIL YOUR LAST CHECK OR YOU SHOW UP TO PICK IT UP ON TEH DAY IT IS ISSUED. HAVE YOUR FRIEND CALL THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND COMPLAIN TO THE HEAD HONCHO AND THAT WILL GET THE CHAINS MOVING QUICKLY,THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE LEGALITY TWORDS AN EMPLOYER,IS TO HAVE PROOF OF YOUR WORK HRS AND DAYS,THEN IF IN YOUR STATE IS A LEGAL AID,START THERE AND ASK FOR HELP,MOST PLACES DONT WANT TO GET INVOLVED,BUT BY LAW THE EMPLOYER HAS TO GIVE THE CHECK,ITS BREAKING THE LAW IF THEY DONT. YOUR FRIEND MIGHT EVEN CONSIDER CALLING FOR POLICE SUPPORT TO RETAIN THE CHECK..

Go to the district attorney with the receipt for the certified letter\nand a copy of the bounced check..\nThe District Attorney should be happy to collect it for you...\nBad checks are illegal...\nYou need not sue, your employer broke the law..\nThis is not a civil matter, it is now a crimminal matter...

I'm not sure what'll happen.  I worked at the IRS last year, and some guy came in with a check from the early or mid 80s, I'm not sure what ended up happening, whether they issued him a new check or not.  Call the IRS and see what happens...800-829-1040

Do call or go to the Labour and wage board in your city. \nBe sure you have proof of the hours you worked and even if you do not have the proof go anyway sometimes the labour board can scare these employers into giving you your monies.\nGo into search and type in Labour board for you state to find out where it is located.

You could call the bank it was issued from, give them the check number & account number, and ask them to "verify funds".

Listen, I received a check a couple of days ago too. I took it to a check cashing place and asked them if it was a real check and they said yes and cashed it for me. However I didn't understand the letter very well. I called the number several times with no answer. Finally the next day I called again and a man answered with an accent and told me to go cash the check and call him back and he would tell me the next step to take.  I was scared so I notified a friend of mine in Canada and he told me that it is a scam. Now I'm not sure what to do...

Most people on here have it right.  Six Months or more is called a stale check and another must be issued. It doesn't matter what the policy is of your bank because if the maker's bank doesn't honor it then it will be returned on you.  \n\nThe only exception is if it is otherwise specified on the check as in "check not valid after 30 days" or "check good for one year from date printed" but you'll find these on state checks and company checks, not personal checks.

You could contact the previous employer and ask for a copy, but if that's not reasonable the IRS has a copy too, just ask them.  They've become pretty personable and easy to work with.

From now on,for your own good,you really need to stop taking checks, nowadays, even a grocery store is equipped with a check system that will instantly check if the check is either good for the money it's written for or not.\nNowadays, paper checks are a thing of the past, You can take a paper check and convert it into an electronic check and instantly take the money if it was truely there.\nIf someone wants to write you a check, don't take it, instead, say that you only accept cash or credit card. If the person is able to write a check, wouldn't you agree that they can easily give you the money instead?\nI feel very bad for you to be honest, I know how you feel, you must feel rather helpless, but BUT-There are steps you can take to remedy this, I don't know how much effort you want to put towards this, but this is going to take a little....\nHow much info did you get out of this person, If you have her first and last name, you can always try to do a person search, you can go to the check writers bank and ask them if they can give you her new address, you can call the operator and ask for her new phone number, you can do a credit and history search, perhaps giving her about 6 months to settle down before pulling out her credit history search. That is probably your best bet. A credit search might cost $40 dollars or less, but when you have her address and a little complaint served to her, you can bet your buttered buns that you can recover that and some punitive damages and INTEREST.\nYou can also print out every Email and IM attempt you have made to contact her and you can present that to court of course it will be in your favor.\nHave you tried resubmitting the check to her bank? You should also try that.\nYou can also contact me and I can help you out a bit more.\nPlease contact me at betsaidaus@yahoo.com and I will surely tell you something else you can try!\n\nAnyway, whether or not you contact me, I hope you get your money back!
