[QUOTE="Chopsy Varmint, post: 7452025, member: 136464"] I deal with 5 to 10 clients in a work day and I prefer cash or cheques because I drive away with the money in my hand instead of having to check every week that people have transferred their payments and chasing up late or non-payers. It's a waste of time on a day off. For some of my clients there are only cheques for me, the hay man and the window cleaner that come out of their cheque book but it's a pretty foolproof system. I've had very few problems with cheques bouncing but every month there's usually a few people I have to remind/chase for an online/BACS payment. Twice I've had to go to the small claims court to get a customer to settle their bill which was due to be paid by online transfer, having spent a few months trying to cajole them into paying me directly which was hassle I didn't need. I still use the odd cheque myself and coincidentally I've recently been thinking of using them more often as a symbolic 'eff you' to the banks for pushing us towards a cashless online transaction society (with all the tortuous 'security' procedures already mentioned) whether we the customers want it or not. Thanks to the people upthread who have recommended Handelsbanken. I am fecked off with my local Lloyds branch but having just checked their website, Handelsbanken might be a better alternative.
