The slips in the paying-in books were both stamped date-stamped 11th October 2010 by…

Sky Failed Direct Debit
Having been with sky in the past, and depite my reservations about their abysmal customer services which I have experienced in the past, I (foolishly) decided to reinstate my subscription to them and opted for the TV/Phone/Broadband.

How long does it take for a Cheque to Clear from the same bank ?
Does anyone know how long it takes for an RBS > RBS or Natwest > Natwest cheque to clear. The guy on the phone told me it was a normal clearing cycle, but i'm not sure he's right. I know for sure that a Halfax > Halifax cheque clears at the end of the day, and instantly if you ask them at the cashier desk.
