Well, it's done now. There isn't much I can do really

If you pay by cheque in a shop, they will ask you for your card, and will write down all the details on the back of the cheque. The guarantee is for other peoples benefit, not yours- it's not intended to be used as an overdraft. If you'd written the number on the back, the receiver would have had no problems paying it in, but you would probably have been charged...
