I paid for something using a cheque and it has been returned to the person who tried to cash it as unpaid.

It was in an old cheque book, I'm not overdrawn.

obviously, I have only just found this out a few minutes ago and can't ring the bank to ask what's going on!!!

SOoooooo, before panic causes me to implode - do old cheque books age off? would that be a reason for the bank not to honour the cheque? or could it be something else?

How old is the cheque?

the cheque book is a good couple of years old, but I only wrote a cheque that was returned last week.
