tell me about it - i tried 2 use a personal cheque for food shopping this week only to told they dont accept them any more, even with a guarantee card. i had 2 put a whole load of stuff back. ahem!
It would be. Here ATM's are free and shopsonly charge a bity if you use a card to pay for something less than a fiver.
The last cheque i wrote out was over a year ago, its so easy to use a debit card or online services. As banks do basic accounts for those who have had financial difficulties, which come with a card, what is the issue?
Most places put notices in their stores etc months ago to say that of such and such a date cheques would no longer be accepted. I recently opened a new account and recieved a cheque book, why ????? if I cant use it.

like most people I dont use them often, but paying for school trips, loading DD lunch account, girl guide fees, are all done by cheque as schools & GG etc are not geared up to accept anything except for cash or cheque

If the bank will install a chip and pin thingy into my home office to accept payments without charging me then I'll be more than happy but for some reason - I don't think that'll happen!

We havent used it yet but my daughters school has set up a system that is secure and we can pay over the internet, she ( all ) has a card and we can pay for school trips as well as uniform, lunch and anything else from the school shop. It has stopped lots of ' give me your money or else ' in the school.

it a shame DD school didnt install this, they moved into a brand new building in September and you'd have thought they would have installed uptodate payment methods, but they didnt

i opened my bank account about 8 years ago, found the cheque book yesterday while going through some paperwork ... i only used 3 when i first opened it.... don't think i'll be overly stressed at not being able to use them lol.
We got a new bank account about 18 mths ago, and they don't offer a cheque-book with it. It is a pain sometimes, and I still miss it. As Janeyo says, it's really handy for things like paying the milkman and the window-cleaner, especially as ours doesn't seem to have a set day to come for the money.
For school dinners, the school signed up to ParentPay last year so that it can be paid online, but as it has a minimum payment of �10 per child it's a bit of a pain - I don't always have that much available
