Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Re: Florida law on cancel check for deposit

It normally is not but you should be able to justify your actions in this instance. You should report this dealer to the BBB and state attorney general's office just to back up your position. But it doesn't sound like you are locked into paying them any more. Go elsewhere.

No. It is not proper to stop payment on a check. Should a complaint be filed, the court will look to your reasons and you may be ok, but that does not make your actions proper or justified.
