  • Hi. You could email, phone, or fax them and ask them for their IBAN number. This means International Bank Account Number. All European banks now have this information. If you look closeley at your own bank account number you should find the IBAN listed. You could then make the transfer via your own bank account. You will be charged, but you can ask first what the fee will be. Alternatively you could ask the school if you could pay on credit or debit card. Hope this helps.

    You still need account number in addition to IBAN. See also this thread: Sending Money Abroad .

    I think that as they did not give you any details, you can just send them a ££ cheque (add a little for rate fluctuations). It will cost them to cash the cheque, but it is their problem, not yours ...
  • Do you know or have a best place to get a HPI check done on a car. I'm wanting to find out if finance is owed.

    HPIcheck.com charge £39.95
    Autotrader.com charge £24.99

    Does the price difference reflect what you get?

    I look forward to anyones help.

    You have very little chances to get help when hiding this post inside the thread with 'Bank Transfer Help' title :rolleyes: . The best place to ask your question is subforum_new.gifMotoring & Public Transport board. Make a search first. Then, if you don't find what you need, ask your question in some appropriate thread or start your own thread ...
