Question

A person who signs a check and leaves the dollar amount for someone else to fill in can recover from the bank whatever amount exceeds the amount that the person intended the check to cover

Answer 1

This is a false statement. The person is not allowed to protest when the check is intentionally left blank in the dollar amount section and more is taken out than originally intended. If the bank acted in good faith and paid the amount shown, they are not liable for reimbursement.
