rather then send a cheque, can i tell my bank to take the £10 from my account?

Stupid question probably... have done a quick search on this forum but havent found the same query.

I am planning on starting the ball rolling by writing to my bank (Natwest) and requesting my statements from the past 6 motnhs. I will be using the template letter on this site.

However.. I havent got a clue where my cheque book is!! I'd rather get the ball rolling right away instead of requesting a new cheque book and waiting for that come then writing to them blah blah blah...

So, in a nutshell... in my letter can I tell them to take the 10 quid straight from my account? Has anyone done this?


Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

possibly but first have you got internet banking and can you download your statement on there?

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I do have internet banking with Natwest. I think you can only view/download up to 6 months of statements online sadly.

When I sent off my request to Natwest I added a small note at the bottom saying "Please deduct from my account funds required to obtain information" Then printed and signed.

I don't think they even charged me for the statements.

That seemed sufficient enough as they sent my statements within a couple of weeks.

Natwest we're quite good with me, other than a couple of ignored letters I got my full settlement along with all the charges I had incurred since starting the claim.
They also did'nt downgrade my account and kept my overdraft facility going.

Good Luck!!!!!!
