travelers cheques cashing

[Trustmeimadoctor]

My gran has some sterling travelers cheques and wants to cash then butt they are about 2+ years old.

Anything she can do?

Call the issuer?

Hsbc don't want to know it seems according to my parents

[carreauchompeur]

In that case they are probably stuffed, likely that there is some validity period in the Ts and Cs.

Bigger shall let them know only a few 100 but still

HSBC stopped doing anything with traveller's cheques a while ago. Take them somewhere else.

Ah, sorry. Apologies for my 'stating the bleeding obvious' tone then. This sounds like pretty sharp practice from HSBC. Do the actual cheques/associated paperwork have a validity date on them? If not it has to be worth an argument.

As B&C says - you'll have to cash them somewhere else. It isnt as if you've lost the lot - you'll just have to pay whatever fee another comapny charges
