  • Actually the best way to get a cheque stopped for free is to say it went missing in the post!

    If you want to stop a whole cheque book, just say you have lost it, probably on a visit to a large shopping centre, i.e. Trafford, Metro, Brents Cross, Bullring etc.

    Banks will always stop a lost cheque book or a cheque that has gone astray in the post free of charge.

    Doesn't say much for "Intelligent Finance" does it ;)

    Most banks will cancel cheques lost in the post. Even if they charge, you could approach Royal Mail as they're the ones who lost it - don't expect miracles from them as they don't particularly care about customer service... :rolleyes:

    This can be a real problem, if you have a religious and/or moral aversion to lying, though.

    Bit of an oxymoron there, I mean a bank called Intelligent Finance. Plus I think, but not certain, and stand to be corrected that banks are obliged under the Banking Code to stop free of charge lost or stolen cheques.
