I agree 100 percent with David Martin that you need
some form of proof that you have paid a debt.   A canceled
check or a credit card statement will do fine.   Do not
depend on your financial institution to keep these records =

for you.  They can and do loose records.   This is especially true
when the debt is some form of taxes.  =


I use a credit card to pay every possible debt. This has several
advantages.  One is that you get frequent flier miles. This is in effect
giving you a 2 percent discount on every debt.  Also you have some
protection in case there is a problem with the goods or services you
have bought.   If you pay for something that you will not receive
until later like airline travel, you are protected from the company
going out of business.  You do not have to pay your credit card bill
for something you do not receive.

A credit card also shows when the payment was made in case
their is a dispute in the future.
