# CheckCancel

[[Source]](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/blob/master/src/xrpld/app/tx/detail/CancelCheck.cpp)

Cancels an unredeemed [check](/es-es/docs/concepts/payment-types/checks), removing it from the ledger without sending any money. The source or the destination of the check can cancel a check at any time. If the check has expired, any address can cancel it.

Checks
## Example  JSON


```json
{
    "Account": "rUn84CUYbNjRoTQ6mSW7BVJPSVJNLb1QLo",
    "TransactionType": "CheckCancel",
    "CheckID": "49647F0D748DC3FE26BDACBC57F251AADEFFF391403EC9BF87C97F67E9977FB0",
    "Fee": "12"
}
```

##  Fields

In addition to the [common fields](/docs/references/protocol/transactions/common-fields),  transactions use the following fields:

| Field | JSON Type | [Internal Type](/docs/references/protocol/binary-format) | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `CheckID` | String | UInt256 | The ID of the [Check ledger object](/es-es/docs/references/protocol/ledger-data/ledger-entry-types/check) to cancel, as a 64-character hexadecimal string. |


## Error Cases

- If the object identified by the `CheckID` does not exist or is not a Check, the transaction fails with the result `tecNO_ENTRY`.
- If the Check is not expired and the sender of the CheckCancel transaction is not the source or destination of the Check, the transaction fails with the result `tecNO_PERMISSION`.
