Can't Void Check NoSpam 08-27-2007

I used the Quicken Bill Payment system to send a check. The check got
lost in the mail or whatever. When I attempt to stop payment the
check (which has that yellow lightening by the number) I am told it is
too late. Fine except that I can not Delete or Void the transaction
either from within Quicken.

Any suggestions on dealing with this? I don't care if I delete the
transaction, void it, or put a "correcting" transaction in the
register.

I have reissued a replacement check via the Quicken online system.

Did you try "cancelling" the payment in Quicken?

Another approach. I use BofA (All Other States) for online
billpay; I have been able to cancel a payment by sending BofA an
email (from their web site) asking to have a "stop payment"
issued for an online payment that had been mailed.

John I did try the Online Center approach and that is the one that was
blocked. THe check was dated for delivery July 13 so I suspect the
dates were killing me. I also tried right clicking and ctrl-D with no
luck. Oddly enough after I posted, I went to the menu and was able to
delete it under Edit. I did get a good set of warnings pointing out
this was an online payment. I use Quicken 2005 currently.

Assuming you've called your bank and had payment stopped (assuming
you're concerned about that) you could set the date on your computer
forward so that it's past the date on the check then delete it and set
the date back. Or you could just wait for the pay date on the check...

Just out of curiosity, what does this Quicken Bill Payment system cost you?
If it costs even more than ONE CENT, it costs you more than the system I
use: pre-authorized debits. NOT ONE CENT they cost me.
