personal check question

[Catrin]

I'm with you, but I bet I don't even write three/yr. But, that still doesn't protect against red's problem. Most of the bills I pay "electronically" are still mailed as paper checks by my "electronic vendor". Most recipients, including small time landlords and property management companies, are just not set up to accept EFT payments.

Yep, this is typically how it works. I've yet to have a landlord who took payment in any other form than a personal check. I've also had payments mailed by my bank go "missing" in the mail for a month or more - so I only go through my bank for payments that are really being made electronically. At least if "I" mail it I know it was actually sent.

They got it today, along with a letter from USPS saying it had been damaged in the mail. Glad I didn't stop payment.

Glad to hear it finally showed up.
