That would be a direct referral to the bank’s anti money laundering team. (And likely automatically so.)
If I had a client that deliberately paid in a cheque that they knew they weren’t entitled to I would be obliged in law to report it. The client would likely get a CIFAS marker and their account would be suspended and probably closed.
On the other hand, a cheque can be used as the proof that a debt is actually owed?
What happened here I guess is that a CSV file sent to the cheque printer was mis-formatted and the account number or similar was read as the payable amount or similar.
