Staff are friendly and efficient, good at what they do. There is a large area with some seats available but usually I find I don't have to wait very long before being served.

As soon as I saw the sign 'pay day advances', I knew the Cheque Centre was a bad idea. Motherwell…read moreisn't exactly an affluent area; many people are unemployed having lost their jobs in the recession,many people are just unemployed through laziness or drink related issues. This place offers short term loans to 'bridge the gap between pay days'. It sounds so simple: borrow some money, and pay them back when you get paid. Easy. However, in the small print, it tells you about the important factor- the interest. If you borrow 500 then you pay back 650. Unlikely to be affordable if you are working a regular, minimum wage job! They also do foreign currency, and cheque cashing, meaning you don't hve to wait on your bank processing the cheque, you get the money straight away, there and then. Again though, it will cost you. They charge a cheque handling fee and a percentage of the cheque. So you may as well wait and get your full amount. Yet another terrible idea, allowing vulnerable people to spiral into even more debt in hard times.

A Pay Day Advance limit is set on your wage you receive, a person going into this shop and earning a minimum wage would obviously not be offered anything they could now afford, ie. offered £500 loan when they only earn £700, there is a strict policy that is adhered to define the loan amount. Loads of people find this a very helpful service as if you wish to borrow £100 you only pay £20.48 interest on this, this is lower than the £56 interest on a Provident loan. As for cheques, some people dont want these placed in there accounts, and you make it sound bad with the whole handling fee and percentage you never stated that handling fee was only £1 and a percentage is negotiable to help the customer. Currency is the best on the high street!!

Professional and attentive staff can assist with a variety of requirements. Sometimes the computers run slow but usually it is not too busy so I don't have to wait long. Loans and cheque cashing takes slightly longer as the paperwork is completed and ID checks are done. Remember and take at least one household bill with your address on it, as well as ID with your photo if you want a loan or a cheque to be cashed.

With items such as DVD's there is usually buy 10 for £10 and something similar with the selection of CD's. There is an electrical section with a few house hold items but tends to lean towards laptop's and mobile phone's, you sometimes find the odd bargain here but that's a rare thing nowadays.
