Wher in Germany ( Bonn) can I exchange your traveler Cheques

Our cheques were refused for a refund at the Thomas Cook branch from which they were purchased, being 'the old type'and also could not be used to purchase euro.

I would be very wary of ever using Thomas Cook travellers cheques again based on a recent experience while on holiday in Turkey. My cheques were lost / stolen on the morning I arrived and it proved very difficult to cancel the cheques, partly because the wrong numbers were printed on my receipt, and it proved totally impossible to obtain replacements. The only offer I received was for a partial refund to be sent to my home address within 30 days. I'm still waiting!!!!!!!!!! (read more)

I faced the same dilemma, having found no bank or trvelex agent that would cash my Thomas Cooke's cheques. Please advice as to where and how I can make a transaction , by printing a global list of bank/agencies.
