Cheque - Incorrect Payee Name

Good Evening
I received a cheque today, however they spelt my name wrong on the cheque. They used two L’s instead of one.
I used the machine to pay it in.
Will it get rejected or will it get processed?
TIA

As long as the numbers are right there should be no issue.
My own surname is one that easily gets misspelled and I have no problemsNever pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
Good probability it will go through. I received a cheque which was signed by the wrong person and that went through OK. If it's not for a large sum, it's likely to receive minimal checking.Make £2025 in 2025

Thanks.. it must happen lots of times with misspelt surnames.
Fingers crossed0 -
How much is the cheque for?
Could you not pay it in with a human cashier?0 -
About £750.. the queue was very long I didn’t even realise the name was spelt wrong until I went to put it in the machine.
The difference was that minimal0 -

So if it passes the cashier, it will clear?

We get this quite frequently at work with our company name being spelt wrong on cheques. From experience if paying in over the counter these errors are nearly always picked up by the cashier and rejected, however if paying in via a machine or via a Post Office counter the errors are almost never picked up. So, guess where we pay our misspelt cheques in..0
