Does anyone know if they actually pay the cheque into the account? I sent a cheque for £20 and received everything but the cheque has not been cashed or paid in to my account.Mutual Supporters club member (Nov 2006)

Not sure loneranger, I was just told it was for name and signature verification and I could make my initial deposit at Lloyds when I received my account numbers, from some of the posts on the thread, it seems they haven't cashed a few cheques....£2 Coin Savers Club (Christmas)- £86£1 Jar (Christmas)- £29Christmas Vouchers Saved: £1450

Well I too have just taken the plunge and applied for this account. Will let you know how I get on!
My credit score is poor, which I find odd. I have no CCJ's, but I have 2 defaults. One for £48 and the other for approx £160. Both settled and both over 2 years old.
Cannot open a bank account elsewhere for love nor money :mad:0 -

Yes I have copies of my credit file, and other than what I mentioned previously, there is nothing else on there.0 -
