Hello,

My name is Victor. I'm in Toronto,Ontario, Canada.

My question is this. Can someone write a cheque for services knowing full well that they are simply going to go to the bank and put a stop payment on it?

If they put a stop payment on a valid payment for services, then that is theft of service and is a crime.
