A: Sounds fishy. Talk to your bank. Generally, you can stop payment (get them to pay the charges) and sort it out.If the balance hasn't been cashed then you should be ok with a rewrite. Note on the check what it is for.

A: I would recommend that you not write additional replacement checks until you have stopped payment on the supposed missing or lost checks.
