    Have you spoke to citibank yet? I ordered a chequebook online last week and got a phonecall from them on monday to say that I need to maintain a £2000 balance before a chequebook can be issued :eek: i guess its because i have a cheque guarantee card and no salary going in, so they want to make sure i dont write out 20 £100 cheques before skipping off into the sunset :rotfl:

    I actually wanted an additional book so me and hubby could have one each but I alreayd had one as one was ordered when I activated my card, no mention of £2k min balance, although we have more than that go in anyway, I suppose they wanted to ensure I was actually sure I wanted a cheque book not somehting else!!
