It was the first cheque I had written for years and took some time to locate the cheque book and then remember how to complete it correctly.

Unfortunately though, for many who don't possess plastic processing abilities, its a method of payment which can't be done without. Guaranteed with a cheque guarantee card, its as good as cash or a card payment.
I don't think this has been well thought out. How on earth are postal payments going to be made now?
I blame the supermarkets... when they stopped accepting them that was the start of it all.

Quote Banks might stop using cheques before 2018, says Institute of Fundraising
By Kaye Wiggins, Third Sector Online, 20 January 2010

Quote However, there will be annual checks on the progress of other payments systems and a final review of the decision will be held in 2016.

"The goal is to ensure that by 2018 there is no scenario where customers, individuals or businesses, still need to use a cheque," the Payments Council said in a statement.
Quote But the council's chief executive, Paul Smee, defended the plans saying that, by setting a target date, the council was encouraging innovation: "We have said that alternatives to cheques must be available and actually being used before the end of the cheque."

We've had trouble recently with some cheques and the banks in question were not even bright enough to spot that they'd been tampered with until we reported the issue. Fortunately we've been fully refunded but making payments either by cash, card or online is the way forward.

Also just got a Tax rebate for I dont know what, for 2009 and 2010, nice for Christmas, it was a Cheque
Our Local Beeb had a go about it this morning, all bitter and twisted, the Finacial spokesman said thay will probably bring out a new paper form that will be machine readable.
Funny as the Tax one was read by the bank machine with no problem

I read a report somewhere that storing second (bank) address for the 50 million bond holders would take several years to set up, program and collect data.
