Velcro_Pete Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I have had some work done to my car. Buy plays-kool motorsport, and they said they were going to get a credit card machine. But now I have racked up a large bill they are not. Does anyone know if I can pay by credit card, some where and some how it magicly changes it in to a cheque, this will be a one off payment. Please I want my car back for the summer. (wanted it for Le Manns, go to go in the scooby now, it might as well rain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark4newman Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Why not go to your bank with a passport, and withdraw Cash, and pay that into your account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Den Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Capital One provide a Visa Credit Card with a cheque book that lets you write cheques against your available credit. I've never used the facility though, I normally destroy the cheques. Den teeth.gif - Self portrait - still unable to remove the smile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Many credit card companies allow you to write cheques on your card Peterid=teal> 253 BHP K-seriesteeth.gif, no gearboxbum.gifid=red> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velcro_Pete Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 Capital One turned me down. I have got a egg card and they do not let you do cheque's. I do not have that much money to spare at the moment in my bank account, hence putting on the card. They are not doing any more work on my car untill they gat paided.

mark4newman Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 the credit card will surely let you withdraw cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwb Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Yes, but don't they usually charge something like 1,5% for the pleasure of allowing you to draw cashquestion.gif Steve B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark4newman Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 yep, but if can write a cheque or go overdrawn it's your only option. The cheapest option, would be to talk to your bank, and get an overdraft. (Or a loan if it's going to be paid back over a longer period!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velcro_Pete Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 It is more than £2000, so I would rather not do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I know a way around this, e-mail me off line. Simon. X777CAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyb Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Join MBNA International. They will give you a visa card and allow you to do a balance transfer into your current account without charging you the 1.5%, however they do charge a higher interest rate, though you could always transfer the balance onto one of your other cards immediately.

Velcro_Pete Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 I joined Egg as they were giving 6 months intrest free credit, so I can finish the car off for the summer and get to drive it. And still pay all my bills, and live etc. Arse Cakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velcro_Pete Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 Does any one need to get anything for round about £2000, I can pay and you can send me a cheque. What about that new engine you a have after. A big telly. Hang on this may be a bit trusting. I'll take sisters as Deposits (must be hot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gridgway Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 surely there are banks etc bursting to lend money at the moment. I assume from your description it'll be on your card for a while. Surely a Barclayloan or similar that has no redemption for paying off would work out cheaper than credit card cash? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Chan Posted June 13, 2002 Area Representative Share Posted June 13, 2002 Like some of the others i would have a word with the bank and try and sort out a proper short term agreement. Writing a cheque from a credit card account is treated the same as drawing money from the cashpoint on your card and incurs a similar (and immediate!) rate of interest - the offers of the interest free period here don't apply. Sh**y position to be in I know - and have been there, hence speaking to the bank or maybe a kindly family member...! HTH Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
