| KenK <invalid@invalid.com>: Sep 15 05:27PM You noticing the same thing as I am? Fewer return envelpoes included with the bills. No big deal but annoying to have to hand-address the envelopes. My local newspaper, AT&T Credit Card bill, etc. Another every few months. Remember when the return envelopes were postage paid? -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

I'm still bitter because it's illegal to use the unused stamps stuck to the envelopes that charities used to include in their begging letters. -- Cheers, Bev Sign on restroom hand-dryer: "Push button for a message from your congressman." |

I signed up y-e-a-r-s ago to have all my utility bills automatically deducted from my checking account. I still receive the bill in the mail each month but I no longer have to waste stamps or make a trip to the post office. Like Bev, I pay everything else online and have NEVER had a problem. I'm down to writing perhaps 3-4 checks per year now. The only reason I do write two particular checks, car tag renewal and property taxes, is because the company doing their billing charges a 'convenience fee.' The city nor the state receive any of this fee from either using a debit or credit card. |

You tell your bank where the payment check needs to be mailed? And the bank does not charge you anything for that?? -- tb |

Yes, they were around but people weren't quite as comfortable and familiar with them as they are now. I contacted each utility and gave them a voided check so they could set up the billing. On my bank's website there is a heading called 'Pay Bills' (how original!) and it's there I have set up credit cards, and insurance payments, and such. I fill in the account name and if it's a well known company such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Home Depot, etc., it will automatically fill in the billing address. If it's not a nationally known company then you'll have to fill in address and phone number, and any other pertinent information. My bank, and I guess most all do, gives the option if I want to pay a certain amount and what frequency I'd like to pay this. It also gives me the option to pay X number of payments, the frequency, and when the last payment is to be paid. That's convenient if you've made a purchase and have gotten free financing and want to pay it off in a required length of time. Whenever the payment was sent to the lender I received an e-mail notice from my bank it had been sent. Bev's might be different from mine as yours might be, too. Log onto your bank's website and poke around and see what options and how theirs is set up. It really is convenient and a time and money saver. No stamps and no trips to the post office! |
