I just got 2 checks in the mail for my brithday and I cant get them cashed at the bank[alotta account problems with my moms account]. Anyways where can I get it cashed at?


Thanks for the help!

You need to go to an actual check cashing store. If they are personal checks you may have some problems. Your best bet is having a friend or relative let you sign the checks over to them and they deposit them in their account and then give you the money.

Well thats the problem I dont rly know anyone. My mom took personal checks to walmart before but they are out of state checks

Are they drawn from banks you have locally? If so, then even without an account, they can cash it for you since it's drawn on their bank. If not, then I recommend asking someone to deposit them in their account, and give you the money. I'm not sure if check cashing places will honor personal checks, and even if so, you'll lose a nice chunk cashing it there.

They are national city I dont think there are any in nc

Oh you are in a tight bind. It will be hard to find a check cashing place to cash them i just thought of that as well. I am not sure if they have stores that cash checks. Some of the bigger grocery store chains like Kroger and Publix cash them... You can try them as well. You may want to go to yellowpages.com and put check cashing and call around.

I called walmart & the lady said that they do even its out of state, but I dont have my i.d. Im hoping the lady that always cashes my moms stuff is there.

Hopefully she will, because at that point, it's a 3rd party check (your mom being the 3rd party), and most places won't cash those.

Well my mom just got home and said they cant because I dont have a d.l. Its stupid to have to have your licence to cash a check.

girl, why don't u have id? that is a must now-a-days.. i hope you can get the checks cashed but w/o an id it is going to be very very hard.

i dunno ive never went out to get one. -shrug-

Ashlee, I'd go get your ID. It's generally less than a driver's license, and it'll definitely come in handy!

Agreed!! A check cashing place charges a fee and it's a ripoff. I wouldn't go that route unless you have no other choice.

Im going to get it when my mom gets her license changed.

if youre getting checks you should get your own bank account. it never hurts to have somewhere to stash your own money and earn interest.
