Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Requesting a stop-payment order is the best choice in this situation. This will block the stolen check from being paid and prevent any unauthorized person from withdrawing money from your account using the check. Writing a new check or depositing the correct amount of money may not prevent the stolen check from being cashed, while tearing up the check or properly endorsing the check will not provide any protection in this situation.
