She is now changing her name at the NSI (premium bonds) to A B Jones
but what puzzled us was that they had accepted cheques to B Jones for
years and then suddenly stopped.

Another possibility is that the earlier cheques were all for smaller
amounts (winnings)  but the rejected cheque was for 30,000 (cashing in
all her bonds).

In fact her name is not really Jones (I used that for illustration
only) but Dumitru so it's not even as if it's a common name!
