Thread: Barclaycard cheque book

HI.....does anybody remember Barclaycard cheque books?
I am going through my statements prior to my claim, and there in black and white is

"CHEQUE HANDLING FEE ON 16 FEB £2.00"

Now surely thats the proof/evidence of their true costs of charges that we have all been looking for.

Any comments/suggestions?

I think maybe they mean just a cheque, I don't remember them having cheque books, but remember them issuing sheets of cheques every so often.

Probably to tempt us into more debt!

Barclaycard cheques are treated as cash advances unless they are promotional cheques, thus they incur the same handling fee as a cash withdrawal.

This isn't the holy grail you want, just a run of the mill handling fee

Agreed, but they werent used as cheques to get a cah advance, they were used to pay run of the mill household bills, proving my point that it costs the banks less than £2 to process a cheque regardless of their useage..

If I recall from working on that side of things, cash and cheques are treated as the same, ie they do not go on as standard purchases and are levied with a minimum £2 or 2% handling fee for the advance, no difference in using Barclaycard cheques to withdrawing money from a cash machine or over the counter
