It seems like every week they come. Can’t stop them either! Bills, I am talking about bills.
I am digging online bill pay because for some reason. Partially because I only remember when a bill is due about 24 hours beforehand. I seem to have a problem getting the check in the mail anytime before that time period. And when the check finally arrives at the bill collector, they don’t open it right away. No. They let it age like a fine wine.
Can you tell that I just got screwed out of $25 bucks for being a few days late.
How come everyone can’t be like the power company and only charge .35 cents for a late payment?
Yes, I know. If I was organized and payed my bills on time; I wouldn’t have this problem.
I am working on it. I’ve got an online calendar that I put notes on when a bill is due. “October 5th, renew Total Muscle and Fitness bill.” Now only if I would check the calendar.
I did sign up tonight through a dot com to pay my utility bill and a retail outlet store from one website. Now to wait for the ‘online processing fee’.
Next issue - where did all the money go?
I used to be a total bill paying slacker before online bill pay.
Just noticed the icons in your blogroll. Nice.
I like how some places charge a “convenience fee” when paying online. The whole process is (or can be) automated on their end.
The worst though is our credit card company - they have 2 payment options on their site. You can either pay up to around 5 days before your bill is due (for no fee), or you can pay an “expidite fee” of like $20 or some ridiculous amount. So if you go online anytime during the week that your bill is actually due, you’re out of luck. And do you think it really takes their computers 5 days to process online payments?
I have the same problem … a major reason that at 25, I still live in my parents’ basement.
whoah! new blog look! i like it.
but i miss the partial photo all the way across the top like you had it. that was my favorite part of your blog.
did you ask for comments?
sorry…
Shoo, the only thing I want to “comment” on today is that the word “comment” in your “comment” box is spelled “coment.”
Yes, I’m quite bored today. And very concerned that GTG did not catch this before me!!!!!!!! I believe, GTG, that I have made Mrs. ‘Wood’ proud…..
Nattie, I love you. That said….I think the coment is one of the still in Spanish parts….
Yes, Nattie… some of this is still in Spanish. You should have seen it when you hit the “Enviar comentario” button.
I’ve been busy trying to finish another project..
Si, si senor….
I didn’t notice it was spelled wrong Shooey.
Don’t know if you remember be from daveheinzel.com, but thought I’d make a comment on this particular blog entry: you can rearrange all of your bills to be due at the same time every month e.g., mine are all due between the 20th - 30th of the month; therefore, I only pay bills on the 15th of each month. Saves me from having to remember each due date, and my husband gets paid on the 15th and 30th. Just a thought.
