Cheques are part of our history and have been going for over 350 years. I am in favour of keeping the beloved cheque. I am always writing cheques and find it a quick and easy method of transferring money, paying for holidays, gifts and catalogues. If I want to put money into my savings account or my nieces I always send a cheque. How can you replace the cheque with a paper substitute - IT IS PAPER - just leave the cheque alone. I blame the Banks, they are just nit picking and need to find some proper jobs to do, rather than create disharmony, chaos and confusion amongst the British public. Leave the cherished cheque alone!

It is completely misleading that people do not want to use cheques . Rather it is shops etc . who do not give us the choice to use cheques . Also I now do not trust the banks -they have not thought this through and put something in its place which is as good as good as the cheque

As office manager for a small firm, I can say that the loss of cheques would be a major blow, as most of our clients pay that way.

We must fight to keep the Cheque Book.
I run a Ladies Club with 40 members we take cheques for Outings Theatre Meals out all banked in our Club account we collect the cheques at our meetings
We list |Cheques and we can control who has paid.
If we have to only deal in cash this would be a security problem for our meetings.
When we give Charity Donations we give a Cheque.
When I send gifts of money I send a cheque.
My mothers Care Package I pay by cheque. And small bussines People
We must demand we keep this connvienent way of settling the bills.

I wish to speak out in favour of maintaining the cheque payment method until an alternative is found. I run a small business & it is not viable to use the credit card option. Also and more importantly I will not 'do' direct debits - I have been stung by utiliies , telephone, even car insurance fees etc etc in fact every time I have set up a DD something has gone wrong & always benefitted the co. concerned. Since standing orders are no longer used as a means of paying because the companies don't offer that option - I always pay with a cheque or bacs transfer. So I feel very strongly that we must keep the cheques as every penny counts.

Cheques make simple payments easy and are tactile methods of accounting for your money and expenditure (especially for bills/statements). We are losing the ability to communicate in writing for such a necessary finance task.

Cards may now be used more than cheques but cheques are so handy with regard to gifts and to give to people who do not have card machines. Please keep the cheque book.
