Depositors can command banks to refuse to pay a check holder {stop payment order}|, when check comes to bank for collection. Stop-payment orders can cancel lost or stolen checks, cancel checks if payee failed to provide service or goods, or cancel checks if long time elapsed since check date. Written stop-payment orders are binding on banks for six months, and you can renew them. Oral stop-payment orders are binding for two weeks.
