Check for vehicle hold and stop payment?
I do not recommend stopping payment on a check you have wrote for a car. Doing a stop payment could be considered fraud and you might get put in jail for doing so. Even if you don't go to jail you will be liable for any expenses caused by you stopping payment on that check plus any other fines the court wants to place against you. If you have purchased a car and there is an issue of fraud on the part of the seller you can sue them in court. If you are the seller of a car that someone has stopped payment on a check they paid you with go to the local court and talk to them. There may be laws in your state that will protect you. If the court has no law protecting you then, you can sue the person who stopped payment and collect the money owed plus any expenses incurred because the payment did not clear the bank. Some states have laws in place that allow you to collect even more then the amount owed because they consider it fraud to do a stop payment on a transaction like this.
