    As a debt from more than 6 years ago, wouldn't it be statute barred by now?
    I was just about to post the same thing.

    Cheques are valid for six years. Here's a link to APACS.

    Most banks will not take a cheque dated older than 6 months - On the link you posted I think they mean that if for example poster was within 6 year period they could use the cheque as proof that the insurer owed her the money which she has yet to claim and could then get them to replace it.
