9/12    I want to tell my bank/online billpay/paypal/whomever to
        cut a PAPER check to person X at Y address.  I don't want
        that person have to fill out some form first, I just want
        them to send a check.  I don't care if it has my name as
        the "from".  What is the easiest/cheapest way to do this?
        \- get a bank/cashiers check and mail it to them?
        \_ Depends on your bank. Mine can do this through Bill Pay.
           Yours probably can, too. Maybe you should start calling
           banks instead of asking the MOTD.
           \_ wow, so unhelpful on the MOTD today.  to the 1st
              person above, I am trying to make things EASIER.
              I'm looking for a solution that lets me sit on my ass
              and avoid going to the friggin' MAILBOX, i'm sure as
              hell not willing to go to a BANK to get a cashiers
              check.  To the second person.  *MY* bank does NOT
              allow me to do it.  If it did I wouldn't be asking.
              I was hoping you (or someone like you) would be
              willing to spend 30 seconds to type the name of their
              bank (or other institution) and thus avoid my
              spending god knows how many hours on hold looking for
              someone at a bank that will even understand the Q.
              and not just say "oh, yeah, our online bill pay doeS
              that", only to find out that it does NOT.  Instead
              you were only willing to spend your 30 seconds being
              an ass.  thanks. -top
              \- Boy now I am glad my answer was unhelpful.
                 \_ You're supposed to tell me what my bank is capable of
                    doing.  If my bank is not able to optimally serve me,
                    you are supposed to get a cashier's check out of your
                    own funds and mail the check to my designated recipient,
                    and I will reimburse you later once I determine that I
                    can do so without undue effort on my part.
              \- did someone stuff a burr in your arse?
              \- kids these days ... the only thing the world
                 owes you is a good old fashioned arse rape.
              \_ Opening an account at a new bank is going to be more
                 trouble than writing a check and mailing it. If your bank has
                 Bill Pay then how do they pay bills if not with a check? Not
                 everyone has ACH. Ask them how they pay bills to vendors
                 who do not have ACH.
