On making a phone booking with CAMC by phone

It was suggested I look at the link at the “before you travel” section of their website.

I happened to click on Blackpool instead of Borrowdale. I was anazed to see this ….

To ensure the safety and security of all our guests and site team, we ask all guests wishing to pay with cash, to provide identification. Accepted forms of photo ID are a photo driving licence, ID card or passport. Alternatively a utility bill or bank statement with current address.

Can anyone explain cash discrimination? I often like to pay in cash, to try and preserve it,
 
There are a lot of illegal immigrants housed in Blackpool and there has been much trouble, most of it going unreported. Presumably the ID requirement is to ensure that they have proof of valid 'residents?'

From what I have seen on various caravan forums, this is not the only CAMC site requiring valid ID if paying cash.

Stops money laundering, and fake notes being offered. Or at least gives a trail to follow should it be needed. Plus cash needs banking and that takes time, costs money and banks are getting as rare as hens teeth. My local vape, ciggie and barbers are NO cards, cash only.

Businesses get charged by the Banks if they pay cash in as well!

Not entirely sure about that. I'm treasurer of our community hall which while a registered charity is also classed as a business as far as banking and utilities are concerned. I frequently pay in cash and have never been charged.
 
Most of the people I know with businesses have confirmed they are now charged by their banks for just about everything possible
. One guy is treasurer of a registered charity, he also says the charity is charged for every single transaction, he has tried all ofthe high street banks to try and reduce costs and every one operates the same rules.
Just passing on the information that has been given to me, and I have no reason to believe any of it is wrong.
 
Lloyds charge us for everything they can get away with, and the card processing companies are just as bad, all costs that are passed on to the customer in the price they have to pay
 
Amazing init. They use your money and also charge you for the privilege.

Maybe RBS is free in order to get all the English legal tender.😉
 
Checking their Web sites RBS are clearly zero charging for,Charities and Community Groups. Their brochure is simple , straightforward.

Lloyds is a maze of sub menus.
Following their threads eventually brings you to this

Looks like Lloyds have been reading Sam’s posts😉
