I too use the duplicate cheques but I don't write them. There aren't many
businesses who take cheques any more of course but on-line banking which I
also use does not cover every situation.
I have accounts at a few businesses around town and I like to pay them by
cheque rather than charge card or debit card. they offer me account services
and they send me a bill. I don't see any reason why they should have to pay
the banks for offering me that convenience. I would like it if they would
offer me a discount for their saving but I consider it part of the cost of
convenience.
I have been able to occasionally pay by cheque rather than credit card for
the bank discount in some situations, particularly large purchases. The
vendor can give me 4 or 5% discount and there is also some tax saving to me
without costing the vendor anything, it is just money he doesn't pay the
card people. Not all merchants will do that. I saved a couple of hundred
bucks on a bed a few years ago, enough to hang new curtains and a spread
with some change.
Don't think either of my banks offer raised line cheques.

Hi Dale,
It's not my preference, but I do have raised line checks and can write a
check if needed. I bought the kind of checks that have a carbon behind
them so if a friend or someone writes a check for me I have a copy of it.
I have been using online banking until recently when they changed the site
and I just don't get it anymore. I am working with FS and the bank to make
it work for me. I like the online banking because I have it set so that
anytime any activity occurs on my account, I receive an email.
Some banks try to charge more for the raised line checks, but the law says
that they have to charge you the price of the most popular check they
issue.

So, those of you who do not use cheques, do you carry large amounts of
cash? I will contract a local loader operator to remove snow for the
winter in a couple of weeks, I expect it will be around $600. I paid him
something like $225 two weeks ago to bring me a small load of sand and to
remove a couple of tons of debris from my lawn. Now he doesn't travel with
a charge card machine in his truck or run PayPal and I don't keep hundreds
of dollars about although I probably could make a special trip to the bank
in advance if I knew exactly how much it will cost.

Hello,
Why not go to Premier Assistive Technology and purchase the Talking
Checkbook. Then you can purchase a box of checks from checks in the
mail.
Tell the person that you want your name printed on the check (of course
after you write a check to someone you still have to sign it), your
account
number, and checks in the mail will put the bank name on your checks once
you specify how many checks you want and what number it should start
from.
The checks are laser checks. I think you'll like the TCB you can type
in
who it's going to, the date, amount, memo, notes, it even gives an extra
field if you want to add more notes, then you can print by hitting either
enter or the spacebar, then you can push the spacebar to check the check
once it has cleared your account. If you have more questions feel free
to
write off list.
Best Wishes,
