I found old travellers cheques

I recently found some old travellers cheques that I bought in the 1990s. What can I do with them ? I searched this site but could not find anything recent. I took the cheques to my bank ie HSBC but they refused them, as did the post office and a local travel agent. Who will cash them ?

What company/bank produced them?

Are they GBP£?

If so, whilst they may not cash over the counter, can you pay them into your own bank account?

we had similar a few years ago,  ours were American express and we had to contact them to get them to repay them.     we also had a few Barclays ones which we we went into branch, the young guy on the till had never heard of them and had to ask one of his older colleagues lol

you need to go to the company who issued them

I also had some old sterling Barclays and American Express TCs. Had no problem paying them into my Barclays Bank account less than 2 years ago.

A letter in The Times money section today.

Someone found some Lloyds TCs

Lloyds wouldn't change them as the customer no longer had an account there (they had been moved to TSB!)

TSB wouldn't help as they were Lloyds cheques

Turned out that they were Amex so the guy contacted Amex and got the refund
