Overpaid - attempting to return the money

Ok, just received a letter in the post dated two days ago saying that my resignation has been accepted and my last day of service would be the one back in February. They also kindly calculated my leave for me. It just gives some generic details about giving passes back to my manager, my P45 will be posted to me and confirmation that requests for references have to be done by post etc.

(It's just a very standard letter with nothing untoward in it other than the acceptance of resignation being so long after last day of service!).

It also gives me a reference number for the letter and phone number if I want to discuss it.

Finally received a very apologetic letter from them with a calculation of the exact overpayment. And of course, now they want repayment to be done by cheque! What century are we in? Weren't cheques meant to be phased out already? I don't own a cheque book, the same as I don't have stationery for posting letters lying around. We are in 2018, people use emails, people do electronic bank transfers. I should have just bought a bunch of stamps, because now I'm going to have to write another letter! I feel like I'm living in the 1900's with all these letters!!
