If it's account payee and had to be so under 40A(3).

You can ask directly your debtor to issue cheque in your creditor party name. If he agrees then it's ok.

By doing, what purpose you seek to obtain ?
Keep transactions straight and identifiable instead of complicating.

If the Cheque is Account payee then you cannot transfer the cheque directly to your creditor.

Further, if you saying the name of the Company is not mentioned- its an incomplete cheque(only name not mentioned) then you can name it with your creditor after taking consent of your debtor.

In the account just make a journal entry and adjust your creditor liab with debtor balance.
