[quote]From a bankers point of view, always write a check. We only keep records for so long and if she claims you didnt pay her 15 years down the road and its set up on a draft, you cant find your statement, your out of luck. [/quote]

well i'm more apt to keep a statement than remember to print out the monthly cashed check online. I have every single statement since i opened the account in 1989...dont ask me where they all are though. :)

or are you saying they can get a copy of an older check more easily than a bank statement?
