I deposit US $ cheques in my account all the time - sometimes for US$5,000.00, but I have been a Natwest customer fr over 40 years

Exactly! You have built up a track record with them and probably have a good credit history.

Thank you, yes I have to both (good credit history and track record) and a decent overdraft from Natwest.
I made a dumb decision to help out a friend by adding her to my credit card, bad decision, not sure how the hell she managed to get me to do that, but it did not end well and cost me close to 5K as I was not prepared to have my credit history tarnished.
After explaining the situation to this friend, who said she understood and would not do anything to mess up my credit history, it did not last long.
Trust me, I have learnt my lesson and will not be doing something like that again for anyone.
