I am a contractor and I received a check from a customer which was made out to my business name. I lost it. Can it be cashed? What do I do?
Contact the issuer to explain that the check is lost. The issuer can then place a stop payment on it and issue a replacement check. If the check is cashed by an imposter, the bank or business accepting it would be liable.
