<prompt> Human: I paid for some extra training for my spouse and I at my gym a major chain in June and again around August almost 1,000 total. A few days ago, I got an email from my gym saying that they needed me to send new checks because the old ones never made their way to the bank. Turns out they are in police custody in an embezzlement case. Obviously, I still owe them the money, but is there anything I can do? Im hoping they agree to space out the payments because I would rather not have to drain my checking that much right now. Is there anything I should be worried about in this situation? It seems really sketchy. Also, yes, I am really bad at watching the cash flow of my checking account, but my husband and I travel for work and frequently get large reimbursement checks for travel.  <response>: Ask them if theyd accept the check less the stop payment fee most banks are 30-40
