Get Started

In the Stop Payment on Check letter, the "drawer" is the person who writes the check (or share draft, etc.). In nearly all states, a drawer may, by order to his or her bank, stop payment of any item payable on his or her account, but the order must be received at such time and in such manner as to "afford the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it." This means that the stop payment order must both: (a) identify the check with reasonable accuracy, and (b) be received "in time."
