Some info here looks like 6 years but worth approaching your bank

[ummmm]

Who issued the cheque?

[factor-fiction]

It's possible the cheque was temporarily lost/misplaced and the sender reissued one which was cashed/paid in

I thought a cheque became invalid after 6 months, you would need to contact the drawer and ask them if they'd reissue it, but they might not :-(

That's interesting, I'm not wrong but I'm not right either http://www.paymentscouncil.org.uk/payment_advice/key_payment_questions/
