conversation: User (lostinrealtime): "Typically my rent check clears my credit union on the 4th of the month.  This month my account showed that it still hadn't by the 10th so I called the apartment complex and they said they did receive my check and deposited it and they were paid.  I called my credit union and they said to them they show nothing and that as far as they are concerned I never wrote the check.  \n\nMy question is how long do I have to wait to just "void" this check in my check register. I balance my checkbook regularly so this is just driving me crazy.  Anyone have this happen?"
  Self: "This happens, but it is very rare. Probably it is sitting in "suspense" at either your apartment complexes bank or your credit union. Assume it will clear eventually.\n\n"
