Can't his father simply make the cheques payable to HGV training company....?

Hi Nemo1.

Porcupine makes a good suggestion.

Another possibility would be to get an advance OK from the trustee. I doubt they'd have any problem with this.

Thanks for the replies 🙂
Unfortunately the company he is going with don't accept cheques as a method of payment 🙁 I'll try persuade him to contact his IP. His worry is that somehow his dad will find out about the TD- if the trustee says he needs to confirm why he is giving the money... If he does decide to cash them at a cheque shop, is this breaking any legal rules? If so then I'll be putting my foot down!

Dont waste money at cheque cashing centres. Just keep receipts from the course to offset the cheques going into your account. Let your trustee know what your doing and it wont be a problem.

Best to be up front with the trustee. I'm sure there won't be any problem. If he tries to go under the radar then it just risks arousing suspicion if the trustee picks up on it somehow.

Asking for receipts is a perfect plan. Never even thought of it... U spend that long trying to think of a solution that the obvious answer stares u in the face!!
Thanks everyone

If only I was as quick with solutions to my own past troubles!!!

Hello forum I am new to here but have watched for a long time.
I have a question to do with this topic. I have cashed a cheque at ramsdens before. I did not know that this is not allowed. Is it against the law? And are my trust deeds firm going to find out? I am now very worried

Welcome to the forum Skippytree.

I guess the answer depends on why you chose to do it. Could you expand for us please?

I got given a cheque for selling my guitar. I cashed it there because I needed the cash quickly. I don't know what to do. I am fearing I am in trouble.

Hi Skippytree.

Unless it was of very substantial value I doubt that you have anything at all to worry about.

The problem is just where a cheque cashing service is used to hide money that was due to a trust deed.

But when they find out about this cheque am I then going to have to pay this amount into the trust deeds? Will I be prosecuted? I don't know what is a substantial amount but my guitar was my pride and joy and sold it for a lot less that what it is worth to pay a garage to fix up my car.

It really shouldn't be a problem Skippytree, not least if you needed the money for a car repair.

The guitar wouldnt have been an asset included in the trust deed so dont worry.
