Question

Have you ever written a check?

jennifer_bloom · Accepted Answer

I don't write cheques cause most places accept interact e transfer or I just use my credit card. I once cashed a pay cheque online which scared me cause if the writing was messy and not recognized by the TD app that might be two weeks of pay down the drain with no way to get my money back. I did it when the winter was very bad and leaving the house was near impossible so I could not visit a bank to cash it.

I’ve never written a check in life that I can recall. I like to pay in cash upfront even if its thousands and thousands, so be prepared to sit down and count it out.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

The last time I wrote a check was probably back in my second year of college as a way to pay back my grandparents for the money they loaned me for my tuition. They wouldn’t accept cash and it took me forever to find my checkbook because it had gotten lost as I’d never bothered to use it since high school when I got it lol

I have had a cashiers check written for a significant transfer from one bank to another (cheaper than a wire transfer). As for a check for something, probably 2003.

This afternoon...  Twice. First, to our Gardener.  Next, to my niece.  I usually give 'em checks because that's what they prefer.

I purchased my first car outright (without a loan) recently. And they only accepted checks. The salesman drove me to the bank (wife dropped me off expecting me to be able to drive away) and receive temp checks.

First time in 10 years. Prob go another 10.

For a babysitter about a month ago. Normally I try to pay cash but we didn't have the right amount on hand, so I wrote her a check. I think before that the last time I wrote a check was for some automotive repair work a few years ago.
