Do I owe the money or is it my employer who owes on a check with stop payment?
Full Question:
I received a check from a previous employer. I cashed the check in good faith at a check cashing service. The check was written on January 25th, cashed on January 31st, and deposited by the service on the 2nd of February. A stop payment order was placed on the check. On April 20th the check cashing service drafted a letter stating that I owed them for the amount of the check. The letter was mailed out on May 9th which is 21 days later arriving at my home on the 11th of May. Almost 2 1/2 months have passed since the check was cashed. Do I owe the money or is it my employer who owes the money and how long does a service have to contact me and let me know. I was given 30 days to resolve but it took 21 days to get the letter to me.

Answer:
Because your employer didn't agree where the check was to be cashed, you are the primary party responsible for your check cashing arrangement. Your claim for reimbursement from the employer will probably need to be dealt with apart from the check cashing service. The time frame is governed by the terms of the check cashing service policies/agreement. Please see:
