    And they say we have equality!

    You get the choice of ms, miss & mrs. Men don't have the privilege of multiple titles.

    The bank's internal records probably say otherwise.

    But this thread is about the cheque being queried because the title on the cheque didn't match the title on the account - there are no titles on our cheque books and paying in books and the bank accepts cheques with any title as long as the initial and surname are correct.

    The title on the account isn't what is printed on the cheque books/paying-in books/cards, it's what the bank has on the systems as the full names of its customers. What they've chosen to print or not print on any items is completely irrelevant.

    If your bank accepts your cheques, that's fine, but they are also fully entitled to reject any that don't match the information held about you.
