I worked for a company that refused cheques for a while. I had to have cheques put in my name and pay them into my account to get over this for a customer who would only pay by cheque. Legally they do not have to accept a cheque.

Hello,

I too have been paying Cabot off since 2005. I had forgotten all about my Barclays student account and Barclaycard when they contacted me about since it was over 5 years after I had last used them.

I had been homeless living on the street or living in sheltered accommodation for most of those years and had just got a bed-sit and was getting back on my feet when Cabot got in touch with me about them.

I used another credit card to pay off the Barclay card. I think it was less then a thousand pounds and Cabot gave me a small discount for paying it off quick.

The Barclays account was £2800 and is now down to £900 I pay them £20 a month. Cabot call every six months wanting to know about my situation in case I can pay them more and clear it off sooner.

Funny Cabot is not on my credit file nor is Barclays or Barclaycard which I suppose is because it is 15 years since I was with them.

Barclays is a dodgy bank I have since found out and have been fined billions for dodgy deals. I would steer clear of them everyone.
