[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 464431, member: 11791"] If it were me... 1) Leave the $ in the account for a year - after that, for most banks its a "stale-dated" cheque and would not be honored - but check with your bank about what their stale-dated policy is. 2) Don't put a formal stop-payment on, but let the bank know what is going on... if the cheque does come in at a later date, they need to make sure its being deposited by the town, not by someone else - if its someone else, they need to alert the police. Its not a stop-payment, because you're prepared to honor the original cheque to the town. You just want to make sure the $ gets to where it belongs. This way, you have not refused to pay the town... they just haven't presented the cheque for deposit. If someone else tries to alter the cheque, someone is watching the account, and you might even end up helping to solve the case. p.s. - sorry, Donna - you were posting while I was composing... so I didn't see yours until after I posted.
