stan Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 This may sound like a silly question. I have arranged to pay my Fonciere directly at the local Tresorie, however on the bill, they have specified payment by bank cheque (if attending in person). Does this mean that they do not accept cash? The reason I ask is that I am awaiting a new cheque book, and have to pay in cash before the 15th Oct deadline.

Doodle Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have just paid my english neighbour's fonciere in cash at our local tresorie - no problem at all and I got a receipt without having to ask.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 All I willl say is beware. The local tresor took a cheque, gave us a receipt and then claimed we had not paid and denied that their receipt was valid. Long wrangle to avoid extra charges. If we had paid cash it could have been much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 . . . and it is going to look very suspicious, in these days of money laundering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have paid all my bills in cash since 2005, I doubt that they have sufficient imagination around here to suspect money laundering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Yes, you are perfectly correct. I have just been to the Tresorie and paid in cash. Not even a second glance and the cash was put in the cash drawer with all the rest of the taxes which appear to have been paid in cash today (last day before deadline).
