How to "enclose fee' for new log book.
I am having to apply for a new V5 for my car. The DVLC will only accept a form by post for this.
It says I must enclose a fee of £25 for this.
I do not have a cheque book.
How can I pay this fee?
TIA
John

Good question. I blew the dust off the cheque book on Monday for this.

Re: How to "enclose fee' for new log book.
In principle you can write a cheque on a plain sheet of paper. (Or on a cow as someone did many decades ago after losing his parking ticket appeal, IIRC).
Whether your bank would honour it seems doubtful though!
If you go to your branch (assuming you still have one), most used to be able to give you a generic blank cheque form where you fill in your account number and use it just like a normal cheque from a cheque book.

Of course, I'd forgotten about such things, it must be 25 years or more since I used one of those.

Thanks, that's useful info.

On the webpage "If you cannot get a log book (V5C) online" it says:
Send it to DVLA with a cheque or postal order for £25 made payable to ‘DVLA, Swansea’.
So it looks like a postal order is your only option

It looks like printing your own cheque forms might be a thing:

Yes, when I lost my chequebook, my branch gave me a few "blank cheques" to tide me over. In the end I never needed any of them before I got a replacement chequebook. The cheque numbers were out of sequence but I assumed that would not matter.
I only write about 2/3 cheques a year, but still would never be without a chequebook for contingencies.
Banks can also give you a bank draft, although there is a fee for that, I believe. They are pre-cleared and so are as good as cash.

I’ve still got a Midland Bank chequebook. Tells you how many cheques I write. HSBC still honour them. I used one last year.

Re: How to "enclose fee' for new log book.
I can't help wondering why this particular service among all others requires a paper form to be posted with remuneration rather than an online form.
I suppose it keeps someone employed at the Swansea job creation HQ.

Or a system like the Office of the Public Guardian where you pay the fee online and get a reference number on the form that you print, sign and post to them. (Although ideally without the 8 week processing period)

Do you have a building society account? Most building societies will let you withdraw by cheque with no charge, or did last time I needed to do it.
