Who cares. Go to your bank and deposit the check. They'll handle it. See, there's these little things called routing numbers on the check that tell banks which bank the check belongs to. Christ, you can even look this up online.

How can you have had a bank account in the past, long enough to fvck one up, and not know about routing numbers?

Do you have the check? What's the bank's routing number that's typed on the check?

Look that up online; use the link I provided.

Contact the bank directly.

Tell them where you are and ask where a local branch is.

THEN profit.

If you had read the OP entirely, you wouldn't have suggested he go to his bank. :roll:

hey, i work at UMB. I'm here right now.
no branches near you. sorry. you could calculate if the drive would be less than the cut a check cashing place would take.

do you know someone with a checking account? you can sign it over to them to cash it.

Actually, your grammar is what's making me "dummer" not my attempt to give you direction. Call your lawyer's office. Hell, even speak to his secretary or support staff or someone who handles funds there. Ask them what their bank routing number is. It's not any big secret or anything. With that number, look it up online ahead of time and find a location to cash the check. Being prepared is a good thing. :)

it could be very likely that they bank at a location that is far from him. they could have their offices centralized at someother location.
closest UMB n.a. branch for you will probably be Springfield, IL or St.Louis, MO.

It would be easier to sign the check over to someone you trust with a bank account.
besides ABA numbers don't really give the exact location unless it is a small bank.
i pretty sure i already know the routing number on that check and it is the same for locations from springfield, IL to KC, MO

If you had been this "nice" to me in the begining we wouldnt of had the spat. If you had read I called but the check is on its way and at the time of the call didnt know about the routing number thing or I would of asked. If you had read you would of seen that I was thankful for the routing numer idea and as soon as I got the check I would do what was brought to my attention. If you had read instead of giving me a rudeass comment I wouldnt of been to pissed off to have mis-spelled dumber. Now your tring to be nice so you wont look like a asshat anymore but its too late in my book.

No one I would know whould have this much money or would trust to sign the check over to. So if the closest is springfield I guess I have to gas up the van early saturday and make a road trip if indeed UMB is the bank. Will know tomorrow when the check is in hand.

Sweet. Score. :p

I forgot about the whole sign-checks-over-to-other-people thing. This would be your best solution. :thumbsup:

they don't have to have the money...if you trust them.

they deposit the check, not for cash.
once the check clears through UMB, then they can withdrawl the cash.

Would still need to trust them enough to give me the money once it clears. I cant do it with my brothers because I dont want them to know about the money just yet. I may be able to do it with my father in law but I would really like to no envolve them if I dont need to. Again once I get the check in hand and check out the routing numbers and see who it really is I will wiegh my options. I was just hoping I was looking up the wrong place and there was a actual bank called UMBNA I was missing somewhere to plan out my day tomorrow when my wife gets home. Its hard for me to get around and I just wanted to get my day planed out so I can just go get it done since my wife cannot for me.
