seriously?!

Right? It's like she doesn't function in a world of electronic transfer.

Why does it matter? (I'm just confused)

marigayle, I don't balance my checkbook/account so it's easy to forget that a check hasn't been cashed and credited after that long of a time period.

and then you think you have extra money which can easily cause problems

Oh. That makes sense.

My issue is that I have my health insurance payment that comes out on the 9th. If there is money in the account to cover they don't do the deposit from my savings then insurance clears and she bounces my rent.

If I don't do direct deposit I have to pay 7% more.

I've told her this too. I've suggested I give her a casher check or do a direct deposit and none of those are acceptable.
