How do I cash a cheque at Cash Converters?

Not a helpful post and they say if you've nothing helpful to say then don't say anything, but I do feel that this isn't really money saving is it. Willing to 'lose' £51...

not sure what the charges are for this but better/easier than a cheque ?? (although I'm sure there must be better ways to tide you over , maybe someone else will come along with a better/cheaper idea)

We will quickly process your buy-back transaction and within minutes you will be able to walk away with the money.
Whatever the reason...
Join the growing number of customers who find this a convenient way of finding the money that they need, when they need it most.

And remember with our unique buy-back option there’s no need to lose the item forever. For an agreed time we will allow you to buy the item back, paying us a fee for the assistance given.

Setting a bank account up can take a few days and if you're bankrupt or in debt then they won't do it any way so that's why someone would use the cheque cashing service. And paying through a friends account isn't possible because all the cheques these days are crossed.

Basic bank accounts are open to virtually everyone. If you go into a branch of your chosen bank they will in most cases be able to open one there and then.
