- Normal_gaussian 7y agoAt 25 the only check I receive is worth £24.82 from the second settlement (money held "in case") of a will. I tried getting them to just BACS it like the first settlement... but they won't BACS less than £25 They also refuse cash and donation as a settlement, so in the spirit of the deceased I don't cash it, and a new one arrives every six months. I guess I'll find know the Solicitor has retired when the cheque stops coming...

- Matthias247 7y agoLittle bit older. Never in my whole life used a cheque in Germany. Then I moved to canada, and learned it's a common thing here. Salaries are by default paid with cheques, people pay their rent with them, etc. I was genuinely surprised when I opened a bank account and they wanted to give me cheques (and even charge for them!). I however got around using them - things can also be paid electronically by setting up direct deposit. It however always feels like the non-standard way.
