visa electron?

I just got sent one of these 'visa electron' cards from HBOS in place
of my regular visa debit.

Is this because they don't trust me?

Does anywhere accept this card?

Possibly

Some places do, but it isn't anything like as widely accepted as visa debit.

Visa Electron cards do not have cheque guarantee, so if you find somewhere
that doesn't take it, you won't be able to pay by cheque either.
