I was delighted when I won the Daily Express Big Monday crossword for December 3 2018, overjoyed when I received the cheque but dismayed when it bounced. Yes the DE are passing dud cheques. Anyone else had a similar experience?
I have spoken with Helene Costas at the DE and she has started investigations. She believes that because the DE has recently changed owners (Reach plc) and therefore the signatory on the cheque is not being recognised. However, the cheque has been presented again today and been has not been honoured again.
That's not good form at all Etiennecat, you must get back onto them and tell them to pay to your paypal or directly into a bank a/c or something, my goodness, I thought one of our national papers were bad for payments. I hope you get sorted soon
Things move on! My bank has now written to me to tell me the cheque has been refused by the 'paying bank' (DE) because it is a duplicate cheque. I don't understand what is happening because I paid in the cheque received. Is there some blame shifting going on here?
