HELP: Lost a money order

DropTopKingM3 · 10-05-2012, 10:05 PM

I received a money order this afternoon and somehow I lost it

It was a rent payment in the amount of $957. How can I go about cancelling it and getting another one? Would I have to ask the tenant? It was a payomatic money order, not a post office one.

All help/advice is appreciated.

I would think you'd have to ask the tenant. He should probably have the stub to show he paid you.

Maybe call him and tell him that you'll pick up the cost for cancellation/issuing a new money order and ask him to help you out.

Agreed. The above advice seems like a good solution.

I thought that once issued a money order could not be cancelled and was treated like cash essentially.?.?.

Call the money order company... This is all taken care of by them, not E46fanatics. Just have the tenant give you the order number, and you both will have to sign paperwork. Done.

If you have no stub number/receipt enjoy the 90-180 day wait for their non guaranteed investigation.

Word of advice; money order paying tenants are a good sign of someone sketchy. Been there played that BS game. Take personal checks!

I purchased the property and took it over September 1st, 2012. So far he's been a good tenant but pays with money orders. The last owner was the one who issued a lease so the decision was out of my hands. He does pay on time and it was my careless mistake

You're obviously not aware of the E46Fanatics Money Order Processing Service.
