Full Name: TEN DUONG

Real name = Yen Duong...

What are the chances that the bank won't accept the MIR?
It was for that Radioshack $50 rebate for the ultra x-connect psu.

lol :) 1 letter seems to make a difference.... I swear I wrote a Y. I have copies!!!

Didn't you see that 20/20 on depositing checks? The bank couldn't care less. I get rebates with my name all fvcked up all the time. I have never had a problem getting it into my account.

Try contacting them to change your name??? But honestly, I dont know when was the last time my bank actually looked at the name on my checks. They just take it and process it and get on to the next customer. If you're a regular to the bank, I doubt they'd even care.

Use ATM to deposit it, I once play a prank on a friend under the rebate name BIG BUTT, and she cashed it ok in ATM.

I had my name totally butchered once on a rebate. I took it to the teller and asked if it was ok, and they shot me down. So i ended up depositing it in an ATM and it went through fine.

I'm just hoping one of mine actually comes in. The space for my email was about 8 characters short, my city's name 6 characters short, my address field 5 characters short, and my first name barely fit. I had to write it all in the margin.

They aren't going to care. If you have a habit of bouncing checks, they *might* put a hold on the money til it clears.
