The Last Topic I Have to Cover

In the interest of covering EVERY POSSIBLE TOPIC related to personal finance, here's a piece on how to void a check. The highlights:

Voiding a check is a pretty simple matter. You merely write "VOID" on the check in letters large enough to make your intent clear. You can write it on the payee line or write it on a diagonal across the check. Leave the check unsigned. Remember to list the check number as voided in your check register.

Duh.

I've now covered every possible money-related idea.

Just the one thing I have been wanting to find out....LOL.

Punny Money is certainly going to write that he told us so!

Thanks for this piece of info.

I am sure, Punny Money will now tell everyone about how he told us so! That we can get to know everything there is to know about PF from FMF....hehe

Best regards

I think it is great that you covered this!

I used to work at an apartment community in a college town where we did auto-draft for rent, which required a voided check. You would be AMAZED at the number of people who didn't know how to void a check. Just as an estimate, I would say 1 in 5 didn't know how. While these were mostly college students, we did get older people sometimes that hadn't really used checkbooks all that much who didn't know what to do. On a related note, you would be amazed at how many college students don't know how to write a check. Sheesh!
