I would be very leary, you are pushing your luck and might could run into legal problems over it. The bank will still have a copy somewhere and you will have to prove "without a doubt" it was paid. Either you have a legible copy of the check or the bank has one, front & back. I know because a credit card said I didn't pay a bill, that I did. It was about 4 yrs ago and I didn't have anything to prove it. I had to go to my old bank and pay their *expensive* research fee for them to track it and get copies of the front and back. This was all faxed to the creditor. They refused to accept it because when it was faxed the back of the check was not legible enough. We had to get another copy and send it Fed Ex. It cost me a LOT of money to do all this, but I was able to prove I paid the bill. They won't take something they can't prove has their banking info on it etc. Not trying to burst your bubble, just don't want to see anyone get into trouble.
