Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

Check #1 was submitted to a company for payment at the beginning of November, it had not cleared my account by the end of November, company requested a second check be sent to also include the current payment for December, day after Check #2 was placed in the mail, Check #1 was deposited by the company. Bank was notified to stop payment on Check #2, company was informed that Check #2 was not to be deposited and had a "stop payment" on it, and December's payment was made over the phone with a debit card. Monday, Company attempts to deposit Check #2, does not go through due to stop payment, Company alters the amount of the check and it goes through.
Question: Is this check fraud?

I do not know what "check fraud" is, but it is illegal and improper.
