Name on cheque wrong way round

[gardner1]

As the title says I have received a cheque from a Spanish bank via insurance company...but my name on the chq is surname/first name, will that cause problems paying into my bank. Its just arrived today so haven't had a chance to go to bank yet

I doubt it if it's something like Smith John might be an issue if it's a surname that is also used as a first name, sorry I can't think of a good example.

I once paid in a cheque to an account with the wrong name by genuine mistake and it was still paid! Was only £5 though!
