Would you order checks from the internet?

There was an occasion where a store claim I didn’t make a payment. I just went online, click on the payment, and asked the bank to investigate it. They contacted the merchant had the whole straighten out for me, even gave me back late payment fee. I didn’t have to do anything.

I also had my lawn mower guy claim I didn’t make a payment to him a year ago and he wanted to bill me again. I went on line, downloaded every payment I’ve made to him, and it showed the payment was there. If I had to keep paper checks, I probably would have thrown away a check that was a year old. It is nice to have everything online.

With online payment it shows who you made the payment to. With paper check it appears as a debit for $XXX, with no payee information.
