They should allow a counter withdrawal providing you take in 2 forms of i.d one of them must show your present address. challenge them if they refuse. it does take 6 working days for a cheque to clear in a barclays cash card account not the noraml 5 in a current account
Reply:Most banks advance you 100-200 dollars of your initial deposit check. You can withdraw that is cash if you can get to a branch. If not, you just have to wait. Most banks operate this way.
Reply:They should allow you a withdrawal. As a previous answer said, you could use the slips at the back of your cheque book.


Maybe they're not allowing it because they can't confirm your identity. Try taking in your passport too so they can confirm who you are, after all, its YOUR money!

Reply:Got a cheque book? At the rear of it are withdrawl boxes - can you go into the branch and withdraw against that?
Reply:Contact your bank. Surely you can withdraw over the counter. It is your money. If you were to clojse the account they would have to give it to you on the spot..
Reply:The cheque has to clear for 6 working days, and for any withdrawal over £300 at a Barclays counter you need 2 forms of ID eg your card and one other like a passport or driving licence only. Banks do not accept just anything with your address on such as a letter, as this does not prove who you are as you could've picked it up out of a bin. Once the cheque has cleared you will be able to withdraw the amount in full, but be aware that legally a cheque can be returned unpaid anything up to 6 weeks after the cheque has been credited to your account.
Reply:transfer the money into someone els accout (preffubly barclays so it is instant) and withdraw it from their account





(And barclays can give it to you to their own discresion!
