Cheque please- finally you can rely on a cheque

DimPrawn is wrong again and TonyEnglish's thoughts are right.

If you go to the apacs pages about this http://www.apacs.org.uk/07_11_26.html - there is a little asterisk at the end of the press release stating:
"Unless they are a knowing party to a fraud"

So if the banks think the cheque is fraudenlent you don't get your money. So being cynical if the cheque bounces you are going to have to fight with the bank to get your money.

Surely the key bit is that you were a victim of fraud rather than a knowing party to it? If the cheque clears and then proves fraudulent, as long as you are the victim, then you should still be fine.

Yeah after a year or so arguing with the bank.

The banks won't lose money on this one. They'll simply increase their charges/lower interest.

How very dare you!

Sorry

Considering that half the time it is the banks that cock up, this is a good thing. one more inch towards the 21st century for the banks.
