Can i cancel a cheque?

To cut a long story short i sent away a cheque on friday for a rented house deposit for me and my partner. I have had second thoughts and was wondering if it is possible to cancel a cheque?

As long as it's not already been banked, you can ring your bank and ask them to put a stop on it.

They'll want to know the cheque number, who it is made out to, the amount and the date.

They'll probably charge about 拢8 to stop the cheque. Though sometimes they'll waive the charge if you're stopping it for a reason that's not your fault. e.g. lost in the post.

If they ask for the reason for stopping the cheque you might prefer to say that you think the cheque is lost in the post rather than say you've changed your mind.

It's called a "stop payment". Call your bank as soon as possible and ask them to issue a "stop payment" on the check you issued. They'll ask you information about the check i.e. check number, amount, etc. The bank may charge you a fee for this service. Here's a definition:

Yes, just talk to your bank and give them the cheque number and they will be able to stop it from going through. Dont forget a cheque takes seven working days to clear so do it as soon as you can.
