When Did You Last Use Cheques?

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Just had a new fan put in one of the ovens and had my card ready to pay when the repair man asked for cash or a cheque. Had to go upstairs and look through the files to see if I still had a chequebook and luckily found it. The last cheque I wrote was in August 2013. The shop we bought the cooker from is closed at the moment but they are still doing repairs but no means of accepting card payments. Happy with price of £20 callout, new part and labour total £88 but it threw me me when he asked for a cheque.

gregory peck, cheque i assume..

[Hopkirk]

Set up a direct debit for it, Brainiac. So much easier and no missed payments.

summer 2019 - a gift to family.

As most of our dog club financial interactions have to have two signatories we still use/receive cheques but some are now going over to online banking. Often we pay for dog show entries or seminars by cheque.

And I've had the same two tenners in my wallet for at least 6 months!

I'm the same, davebro - keep £50 in my wallet for emergencies but it must be a year or more since I used cash. There may be moths eating away at my wallet

Last time I sent a quiz back.

Can't remember, years ago, the only time I handle cash now is the couple of £1 coins I keep in the glovebox to get a supermarket trolley free from the stack.

Strangely, they remain commonly used in The States.

Paying; just before the Covid nonsense. Receiving; probably 2 to 3 weeks ago. Cheques are fine, unsure why folk keeping asking about them. Cash is fine too.

[woofgang]

I write about one a year

[hellywelly4]

I write several a year when I sent quizzes back, unless they specifically ask for cash.

[maggiebee]

Like Tuvok, quiz I sent back with a wee extra donation.

[Mamyalynne]

I use cheques most weeks, also to pay for quizzes.

[zebo]

I was surprised when dealing with my late husband's estate that so many financial places sent cheques rather than transferring money directly.

[roopower]

I pay for charity draw tickets by cheque, also quizzes from AB, safer than sending cash in the latter. Used to send cheques as presents but easier to transfer now.

last week
large firms are far too ready to take moolah and then make real diffs about giving it back

Received last month. Paying three months ago.
