payments to credit cards??

Hello All..
I'm slightly puzzled here, if I open a basic bank account with no chequebook, how do I make token payments to creditcards and loan companies in the first instance? ie:accompanying my income/expenditure sheet when notyfying them of our difficulties?
Any help appreciated..

    We sent Postal Orders until our DMP was set up with a Direct Debit with CCCS. Unfortunately, the cost is a killer ...25p for a £1 PO so sending 22 cost a lot! Our basic account is with a building society who will do cheques for us made payable to anyone we need to send one to. But who wants the embarassment of asking for 22 x £1 cheques.
    Rather do without something else and pay the PO fee!
    You could ask for Bank Giro slips from your creditors but again there's the embarassment element.
