- If you are paying a cheque into a bank account you should draw a line through unused space on the cheque so any unauthorised person cannot add extra numbers or names.
What to do if you lose your cheque book?
- It is essential that you tell us as soon as you can if you suspect or discover that you have lost or misplaced your cheque book
- The best way of telling us about the loss will usually be by phone, using the numbers we have given you, followed by an e-mail (with scanned copy of your written request) sent to the address
