Joint account, signing cheques
Comments

Sorry, I meant that people apparently send cheques through normal post, don't bother with recorded delivery. I guess some folks do as a precaution, especially if a large amount is involved. Last time I emailed a bank and asked about this they replied it was ok to send an initial cheque for a new account if I used one of the bank's pre-paid envelopes.
I'm not sure why recorded post would make it any safer though? It is normal mail and rarely ever gets a signature on arrival.
The only way Royal Mail suggest anything valuable is sent is via special delivery- but of course a cheque is not valuable in any sense at all.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I don't even have one, through choice.
Cheques are an excellent way to get yourself defrauded, or if not get yourself defrauded then aid fraudsters in general.urs sinserly,
