    Was the cheque guaranteed using your cheque guarantee card?

    Why? You'll find quality wins over quantity .... assuming you want the right answer!;)

    Either your Bank has made an error (assuming you got the Stop in place in time) ...... in which case they will have to redeem it. Or ..... you made both an error and wasted £10 .... by putting a Stop on a cheque you had guaranteed with your card?
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
