Cheques

[lizzydrippin]

Just a very small question! I sent the �22 fee to the DVLA for a duplicate licence. As I sent the wrong documents they returned my �22 fee in the form of a cheque (I paid it originally using my debit card online). Now I want to send the fee back to them (with the correct documents this time) so what do I need to do with the cheque so's they can cash it? do I sign it on the back? or just send it as it is? (I have tried phoning the DVLA to ask them, but they've been engaged all day so far). Cheers

Bank the cheque they sent you and pay them again.

Cheers Squarebear, Yep, that is an option but it's difficult for me to get to the bank and I was hoping to get the licence application off today. Its not an A/C cheque by the way.

Can't you just write them another cheque and post it with whatever forms they need? You could always cash their cheque when you are able to get to the bank.

Does your chequebook have paying-in slips? Or do you have a paying-in book? Either way you can pay in any cheque payable to you by filling in the slip as normal and posting it with the cheque and a covering letter of request to pay in, to your bank branch. Just mark your counterfoil 'paid in by post'.

I can't access my branch so I usually post cheques with a short letter telling them what I want them to do with it.
