Cheque books
Our cheque book has arrived in the post! I looked on a website as to how to write the thing correctly....am I correct in thinking that when I pay something with a cheque, this will eventually be returned to me when the payment has been processed, as a form of receipt? Many thanks.

Re: Cheque books
i have never had one back when it has been processed.

Re: Cheque books
It depends on the terms of your account. Very few banks these days will return canceled cheques unless you pay an additional charge. On my business account they send me a photocopy of each cheque with my monthly statement. On my personal account I can access and print an image of each cheque. For an additional fee of course.

Re: Cheque books
I can view the cancelled cheques online as a pdf. Never had them physically returned to me.

Re: Cheque books
They used to do this many years ago, not any more.

Re: Cheque books
Our account has an option where we can get any cheques we write returned to us. I don't bother with it because a) it's not free and b) what's the point?
(this is for all cheques, not just cancelled ones) |
Re: Cheque books
Thank you so much for your responses. The question really came from the fact that the cheque books don't have a counter foil, so nowhere to write what you have paid to whom, and....in the way these things happen, my neighbour was yesterday bemoaning that Rodgers and he are in dispute, and they demanded his cancelled check as proof that he had paid.

Re: Cheque books
Each of our cheques has a carbon copy - so much better than a counterfoil as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Cheque books
I don't remember the last time I wrote a personal cheque, I guess I must have a chequebook somewhere around.

Re: Cheque books
My cheque book has a page at the back to list cheques paid, so easy to check up if I needed to get a copy of the cheque. They offered carbon ones, but I didn't really see the point if the bank can let you have a copy if any queries.

Re: Cheque books
When a cheque is cashed, we get a scanned copy of it attached to the payment detail in our account.

No offense intended but is it one of those rubber ones that may perchance cause one to go overdrawn when one forgets to write it down in the register ? Just wondering. ;)
Someone has a long memory.:lol: |
