Stop payment 

The bank only refunded the money to that woman because a reporter called them and asked them about it.

There is an issue with laws and regulations. A stop payment should last the life of a check.

Something doesn’t add up! The check usually valid for 180 days! Now assuming the title manager sends the check and week or two later makes a stop payment which is also valid for 180 days, but the stop payment order has longer validity than the check. So how the bank even accepted it?

Wait, the 1st lady called and said she didn’t receive the check, so this lady sent another check. The 1st lady cashes both check, how’s that not fraud?

This was clearly a fraud by the customer. Whether it was the deceased or the deceased's family, they knew about the 6-month rule. I wonder about those checks that say "Void after 90 days." Is that enforceable?

She passed away (the payee). The executors probably found a un-cashed check and deposited it. Chaos happens when someone passes. The bank may have screwed up also, by cashing an old (dated) check

My credit union has the same policy. A stop payment is only good for 6 months. Before the 6 months is up you would have to pay another stop payment fee to extend it for another 6 months. After 1 year the check with the old date becomes "stale" and less likely a bank would cash it, though that is not a certainty. The only way to be sure if it is a large check and never returned is to close the bank account and open a new one.

the lady and her family are scammers. they cashed both checks. Scammer died but the family refused to pay back the title woman.

Six months after I want my money back that I paid to have check stopped.

Howard should known better. If you stopped payment on a check. It is good for ♾️. It doesn't matter what the agreement says either, they still can't do it. Example: If you have an agreement saying you have to agent 47 someone, it's still not valid to Agent 47 someone.

I didn't think checks were valid for more than ninety days from the date they were written, let alone six months and one day. And to have an expiration on a stop order is ridiculous. That's a lousy bank, and they probably weren't the heroes as they likely took the money back from the woman who cashed the first check.

$27 for a stop payment? My credit union only charges $10. Get another bank lady this one is ripping you off from both ends. In this case the bank should reimburse her for their failure to do their job and then the bank should have the double check cashier arrested for fraud.

No good deed..

Checks should never be accepted after 6 months of age. Period. Especially of that value. If you sit on one for that long, sorry but you gotta go to the issuer and request a new one.

I'm wonder what are my and where are my texts I'm suppose to receive can tell me that
