I've got £1500 here but some of it's ripped, chunks missing and perished but they all have both serial numbers..
Can I just take these to the bank and get them to whack it into a savings account or will I have to fill out paperwork?
i wouldn't, unless you can prove 100% how the money got in this state Can I just take these to the bank and get them to whack it into a savings account or will I have to fill out paperwork?

The bank teller might politely ask you where the money is from. At which point the correct PH response seems to be get the manager down, get annoyed at him, tell the cashier not to be so nosey, rip up your cheque book and close down all your accounts with them.Can I just take these to the bank and get them to whack it into a savings account or will I have to fill out paperwork?
Or you just tell them where you got it from and they pay it in for you.
You don't even have to tell the truth...

Assuming they are all Bank of England, you may have a couple of issues.Can I just take these to the bank and get them to whack it into a savings account or will I have to fill out paperwork?
Bank of England will always honour it's own notes, however High St Banks will not accept old notes (Damaged or not) you need to "swap them" at Head office.
Over £1k you need a bit of ID / Info, other than that you can just say "found In put bottom drawer of our filing cabinet" If not local you can do it through the post (About £5 to send special delivery) and they transfer funds to your bank account.
Forms etc on Bank of England Website (Thinks at this point posting link would've prob been easier!)

Now as an aside, if your damaged portion of notes amounts to £1500, how many undamaged notes do you have! this should also serve as a heads up for folk stockpiling cash from the Mrs etc try & keep your notes current to avoid having this problem

Also check to see if you have any old notes in good order, people (like me) collect notes as others do stamps. People finding old stashes helps us (I've sold £20 notes banks won't accept @ £40each on e-bay)
