The mystery of the missing check: I wrote a check for December's rent. My apartment management company deposited it on December 11, and apparently it cleared. A month later, the money still has not been taken out of my checking account. The transaction did not show up on last month's statement either. What's going on? [more inside]

I am trying to build up my credit. I would like to pay my rent by charging my credit card and then paying it off each month. Is there a service that will mail a check for you by charging a card? Can any one thing how to make this work?

I need to pay someone within the next few hours, and I found out I can't do this in cash (which I have). Also, I'm in another city, my bank isn't here, and I don't have my checkbook. Does anyone know of a bank or similar that will let me get a cashiers check without an account (I'm in San Francisco btw) ? Or is there a place I can get "1" money order for $750 ? the person doesn't want "multiple" money orders :/ thanks
