Sending a postal order to a DCA, never sent one before, please help.

I need to request my CCA from Lowells. I have read many times on here that a postal order is the best way to do it, but I have never used one of those before.

I went to the post office to buy one the other day and they asked me who to make it out to, and I didn't know. Has anyone had to send one to Lowell's before? Do I get it made out to Lowell Financial or Lowell portfolio? Also, should I get it crossed?

Thanks for your help.

    Hiya, I just had mine left blank and not crossed - I don't know if this is the right thing to do though.

    Hopefully someone else will know.

    Thanks for your reply Suz. I did get one that was left blank and not crossed that I was going to send but when I spoke to the Debt advice center this morning, they told me not to send one like that but to send a cheque instead, but I don't want to do that as I am paranoid about sending them something with my signature on it.

    Hopefully other will be able to advice us.

    Really sorry to bump my post but my CCA request letter is printed out and ready to take to the post office in the morning but I am still non the wiser what to do about my postal order. Can I leave it blank and uncrossed?

    Any help on this would really be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
