UK Police; background check ?

[duluxdog 0]

Has anyone sent off to there respective Police station in the UK for a record or copy of there background check/criminal history , and if so , what form of payment did they accept from the US. According to my own force in Scotland , cheques or money orders are the required method of payment , thats fine if your in the UK but what if your already here. As far as i have found out the UK does not accept international money orders and my wifes (usc) bank account is a small local bank and not a major banking institution. I have sent an email to the local HQ in Scotland and asked if they would accept a Travellers cheque to the value of the fee.......stilll awaiting a reply from them , so any input from you guys would be a help , thanks

We sent off for my wife's police check from Northern Ireland and paid by credit card. I believe we sent a letter asking for it, then called in with the credit card info.

As far as I know it has to be a check or postal order...
