Don’t Be Tricked by Special Wording on Checks!

Don’t sign below the endorsement line unless you want to accept the check in full settlement. Although you may be tempted to endorse the check and deposit it, if you’re owed $1000 and you only received half of the amount, you could cost yourself the outstanding balance.

Avoid Problems with Special Wording on Checks

You probably never considered a check to be two-dimensional. It’s just a piece of paper, and all that matters is that the information is filled out on the face of the check, right? Not so fast!

You need to watch out for special language that may appear on customer checks, for example:

“Paid in full”

“In full settlement”

“Full and final payment”
