(16) STOP PAYMENT ON CHECKS
You may stop payment on a check drawn on your Checking
Account or Money Market Account in person at our Branch, by
calling us or by sending a written request to us. A stop payment
order may apply to either a continuous range of checks or a
single check. A stop payment order will be effective if we receive
the stop payment order at such time and in such manner that we
have a reasonable opportunity to act upon the request. The stop
payment order is effective for six (6) months from the date you
ordered the stop payment. To make a stop payment order, you
must provide us with your Discover account number, the check
amount, and/or the number and, if available, the payee name.
Our acceptance of a stop payment order will not constitute a
representation that the check has not already been paid or that
we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon the order. Further,
you may not stop payment on a check after we have paid the
check. We will assess a Stop Payment Fee for each stop payment
order received.
IF WE FAIL TO STOP PAYMENT ON A CHECK FOR WHICH A TIMELY
REQUEST IS MADE, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FACE
AMOUNT OF THE CHECK. If you would like to re-new the stop
payment after the effective period of six (6) months, you must
call us, come into the Branch or send us a written request.
See Section 27 for information on stop payment orders for
preauthorized transfers.
