Hi
I got a 7,000 sterling bank draft last week to buy a car in northern ireland but the deal feel through. I have now found another car that I would like to buy. I went into the bank today to get the draft changed but was told that I would have to lodge it into my account and get a new one issued. The problem is that I will lose €400 due to a change in exchange rate and the fact that they buy back sterling at a different rate. Can anyone advise of a way around this? Can they not just issue a new draft in another name?
