rayman the triangle thing on 50s when you rub paper on it is correct.. it rubs off onto the paper.. it also works on £5 notes where that bluey sort of circle is and rubs off blue ink onto paper :)

When I bought Tims car I paid the extra £25 and transfered it straight into his account.

 

It still took a day or two to show up there though - and I bet he was sweating as much as me over the deal. At least he hadn't given over the keys...

Thanks guys for the info, did you use BACS when you paid it straight into his account Ivan,?

Anyways weve agreed on her giving me a chaque now and waiting for it to clear before i release the car. Can you fast track a cheque to clear by paying more? I heard you could pay extra to prioritise the cheque

You can do, depends, which bank you paying it in to? Its not really worth it though cos that way they post it and its bloody risky, many a time people have done that where I work and by the time it gets there its longer than paying it in normally. Just wait for it to clear mate.

Lol dont want to make you more paranoid but some cheques take up to 12 days to clear, however all banks have a set time of say 3 days. So in theory you could wait for it to clear and then it could still bounce. Very unlikely with a draft though, I would of thought they get checked a lot quicker than personal cheques.

If I was you dude just wait for it to clear and I would hand over the keys if it was my car.

it was few months ago lol the guy seemed genuine he came to view car like it but did not want to come and travel again to newcastle to pick up so he offered cheque for it and gave me his word with the arrangement i have spare key till money clears and his address along with his passport details so i could verify he was who he was.

I think it's been already said but a genuine bankers draft is cleared funds and therefore as good as cash because it has been honoured by the bank. We only accept banker's drafts for deposits at work. Because of money laundering we can't take any cash over £500.

Thanks everyone for your help with this, ended up getting cash and going to the bank straight away with it.

Everything went fine, was just getting worried for no reason really, cash is easiest way really for both parties involved if they want to take the car straight away.

hasnt anyone heard of a bank transfer....called BACS...done before 1pm and the funds are in the account straight away....you get the all clear from the bank there and then.

 

BACS isn't clear. It takes 3 days for it to come through. They normally set up wages and things with BACS so everyone gets it at the same time.

 

CHAPS is a telegraphic transfer so it's instant, it gets to your bank the same day.

There is something wrong there mate. I bank with Abbey and transfer from bank to bank all the time. Thats a direct via internet transfer and BACS transfer.

I refuse to internet bank with Abbey, as to be able to I have to link all my accounts together or some crap like that, and didnt want to........pesonally Abbey are shite in my opinion, but better the devil you know, as they all seem to operate in the same manner...... ;)
