How do I correct and countersign a check with date error?

Question

Picture of a check with the date filled in as January 7th 2015

I am not sure how I countersign after correcting the date I previously wrote in error.

I wrote the date as 7-1-2015 (DAY/MONTH/YEAR) which led to the bank telling me that they can't receive the depositing checks. So I have to correct and now countersign it. Where, which part on check should I countersign? Honestly, I am not also sure how to countersign it. Does it have procedure or do I have to write a countersigning letter?

Looks like you could change the "7" to a "2" pretty easily and it might not even look like an edit and then the date will be Feb 1, which is in the past and will be accepted. Then put your initials above the date after changing it.
