I don't agree. Apparently, the check store cashed the check, and gave the money to the contractor. But, the bank refused to honor the check because the OP had a stop payment order on the check. So, if the original named payee on the check is the contractor, I don't think the check store has a valid claim against the OP. It's the check store's error in accepting a check from a dishonest payee and for not checking the stop payment order database. Cashing third party checks is a risky business.
