Actually I did but that's neither here nor there. Fairy nuff. Were your alarm bells loud enough to motivate you into warning people away from BCCI? No, as I didn't know anyone who deposited with them. To be honest, though, the only reason I'd heard of them was because they were cited in a lecture I attended as an example of a Licensed Deposit Taker, rather than a bank. It just struck me as odd but only in passing. There's a bit of a libel hazard there, I should imagine! Really? Er, why? :-) And managing without some sort of bank account these days is pretty much impossible I would imagine. Not in the black economy. Every now and again I come across reports of faces who have never claimed welfare, don't have bank accounts and just don't appear in official records. Everything is paid for out of pocket. I just wonder how people manage in such a way. What do they do when they have to cash a cheque or pay for something by post? I suppose they never do such things....... I understand that a/c payee cheques can be cashed at 90% of the face value at third parties. I've seen shops offering such a service but don't know much about how they work. A bit of thread drift here....... -- Ian Jelf, MITG, Birmingham, UK Registered "Blue Badge" Tourist Guide for London & the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |
