At that time I stoped payment on the check I worte. Two days ago they sent the check through thier bank and they cashed the check. With PAYMENT STOPPED in large laeeter across the front of the check. My BAnk said there is nothing I can do about it now. A stop payment is olny good for 1 year. HELP me please
