Yes. It is perfectly legal for the person who issued the check to put a stop payment on it. However, if the check was issued to pay for some goods or services offered by someone or for a loan, the receiving entity also has a legal claim and hence can file a police complaint against you for not making the payment. So, you need to talk to the person to whom you gave the check to settle the amount amicably before you issue the stop payment.

Checking account check missing?
You may want to put a stop payment on the check depending on its amount. There is usually a fee to place a stop payment on an acct. Some banks fees are $40 to $50. If the check is for $10 then it would make no sense to place a $50 stop payment because you would not get the $50 back. Im not sure about you but i would rather somebody cash a $10 check rather than losing $50 on a stop payment. If the check was for a substantial amount lets say $500 then it would behove you to place a stop payment. If the stop payment was $50 then it would save you $450 if someone where to try and cash the check.
