What do you think would be the best way to do this?

Question

my partners parents have offered to give me some money (£800) to pay of an outstanding debt
this is fantastic - and i cant believe they have offered it
the problem now is how can we pay the bill without messing around and it taking ages
ive got to pay it using a Girobank Payment Slip
so i can either go to the bank/post office with £800 and pay it
my partners dad wants to pay it at the post office with his card on saturday morning, and im not too sure if he can do this or not with the bill account being in my name, and somebody else paying for it on their card?
the easiest way i thought it would be was to put the money in my bank account (would take 3-5 working days) and then for me to pay it using my card
Any suggestions?????
they want to know by saturday
its giving me a headache
so i thought id ask on here! :)

Answer 1

Assuming you are in the same area, the best way is for him to take out cash.

You and him to go to the Post Office together. You hand over the Giro slip and he hands over the money.

You get a receipt from the counter clerk showing that the bill has been paid.

Answer 2

Your way would indeed be the easiest. Although paying into the PO account is not complicated either. You can take money out from others account, but you can always pay in.
