Can you cash a check if you owe the bank money?
This depends on individual bank policy but I believe most banks have a "matching funds policy." This means if there aren't funds in your account to cover the check, then you cannot have all cash for the item. However, if the check is also drawn off the same bank this may serve as a loophole because they would be able to determine if the funds for the check in question are available without relying on the funds you have, or don't have, in your account.

Can a stop payment be put on a check after it has been run through a bank account with insufficient funds?
No. A Stop Payment can be issued on a check only before it is being submitted for clearance.

But, if the check has already been deposited and returned by the bank because of lack of funds, you cannot issue stop payment.

What happens to the money if you close an account and forgot there was money in there?
Actually such a scenario wouldn't occur. When a bank account is closed, the bank would release all the funds held in that account to the account holder on the same day the account is closed. Even if they can't do it immediately, they would have sent a check to the customer by post/mail. Banks cannot hold on to the funds of a bank account that was closed. It is mandatory for them to return the funds to the customer once his account is closed.
