• Get the person to bring the postal order and the stub back to the post office, and a refund or replacement should be issued. There may be another fee for the new postal order, of course.

• No. You will have to return it and get the customer to ask the issuing PO to change it to the correct name.
  A crossed PO can never be cashed, only banked and it has to be the correct details.
