    let's assume for the moment 'them' means Ulster Bank and the cheque was intercepted in the post and cashed by an unknown party

    if Ulster Bank are refusing to reimburse is there anything the OP can do?

    Complain to them. 
    Seems odd that a cheque was requested, rather than a bank transfer.

    Good, only taken 7 months, you'll be less stressed now.
    Can you say who 'them' were, as it was unclear in your question, and why it took so long?
