If I closed a bank account years ago but still have some checkbooks lying around from that account, do I need to do anything special to destroy the checkbooks? I've been sitting here removing the account numbers from each check for the past 10 minutes. Is this even necessary?

    Yeah, as said before, don't worry about it as if the bank account does not exist it cannot clear. But if you want to be on the safeside, just burn it or grind up the book :)

  • I picked up the wrong cheque book once, wrote a cheque on it, and then had to go to court. Obviously, that was long ago.
