Do you have any annoying bills?

Can you log into your account online and pay?

Do quarterly taxes count as an annoying bill?  I have a few that I still write a check for every month because I refuse to pay the service charge they tack on for online paying.

Comcast is the worst. After DH passed away I cancelled the account and started a new one in my name but because the email address was the same I couldn’t go online to pay, it kept bringing up the old account. Took forever to get that straightened out

I also still pay a few by check via mail.

Yes we get one too. Is it Castlewood Sewer? Payment was late last time and sent a collection letter notice. It seems like the bill arrives sporadically. Is the amount about $110? I am in unincorporated Arapahoe county with Denver Water.

My flood insurance bill is annoying. Not because it's a paper bill, but because state law says that if you have a mortgage your flood insurance must be paid through escrow.

It's so freaking annoying to me. Paying any bill through escrow irks me, because if I paid my flood insurance, I'd pay it all at once, in advance and be done with it. Instead it gets dragged out over the whole year and my mortgage payment is always going up and down due to the insurance and whether or not there's enough in the escrow account when it's time to pay the bill.

AND, if the insurance amount goes up enough that we want to see about changing companies, we have to go through all of this extra crap with the bank to change it.

I'm a grown ass woman. I can pay my own insurance bill, thank you very much. They trust me to pay the regular insurance. The taxes. The mortgage itself. Why not the flood insurance?



As for paper bills, yes, all of my taxes are paper bill, as are any services I pay the town directly for, as are most everything to do with school. In some cases there are online options, but they all come with fees, and those fees add up to more than the cost of checks, envelopes, and stamps. In the case of the taxes, to much more!

Not as bad as your example but our water bill charges a fee every month when we pay it. I can't stand paying that fee, just because they won't eat the cost of processing the credit card, even they they require a credit card to pay online, of course.

So...what I do is pay in advance - I pay for a full year at at time (which is about $250) and then I only have to pay the fee one time and I'm prepaid for the rest of the year. It's a bit annoying but it aggravates the fire out of me to pay that credit card processing fee. Why should I have to pay extra money to pay you my bill?

No it is South Beebe Metro District, or something like that.  Sounds similar.  I think ours is about $66, but whatever the sporadic bill is, it seems it is always a different amount IF we even get the bill.  I'm in unincorporated Adams.

My allergist only accepts checks or cash and I'm on a high deductible plan, so they bill me. I go monthly for allergy shots, so I get a bill for $12 and some change every month that I have to write a check for and put in the mail. (I guess I could hold onto it until my next shot, but I just want to be done with it.

I pay my gas bill by check. To pay online they charge $3. So, they provide the envelope, I get free checks and I pay for a stamp. Far less to do that than the $3 charge.

$265 cable bill, not even good channels. Just the basic package. Yeah that’s annoying. Before you ask…it’s cable, internet, and the landline. We truly only have the landline for telemarketers.

I only pay the guy who cuts the grass and contractors with checks. Everything else is paid online, and my regular recurring payments are automatic. I love it. Something else to remember is that there are now checks being stolen from mail boxes. I read that a few weeks ago.

I would set up an automatic payment. That way there is a clear, regular record of your payments, which it sounds like you might need.

That’s pretty much the only bill I pay by check to is the guy who mows my lawn. But I pay him weekly.

if you the only other one I pay by check is my school tax and taxes because if you go online and pay it by debit card, they charge you a fee.

I don’t know of any bank that doesn’t have that.

A lawn guy or such will want payment when he does the work maybe but all the others, I pay on line

My lawn guy finally set up an online account so I can pay him without a check now. It is very convenient.
The only checks I write are for property and school tax because I don't want to pay the online fee.
