Ditto!

Ditto II, A no brainer!!

“Ditto”? That’s easy for you to say. Live here for awhile and you will find that you seldom know what day of the week it is let alone what day of the month. LOL

My biggest gripe is there is no grace period – like you do not have much time after the billing date. The other factor is there is NO MAIL delivery. Example: Several times I went in to the telephone company early in the month to pay my bill and asked “What do I owe?” They would tell me and I would pay. Then early the next month I would get a telephone message that I would be disconnected the next day. YES – they actually started warning me. It took a while to figure out their system. If I went in too early in the month the last bill was not processed yet. Within a day of two it would get posted and by the end of the month be considered overdue. I know, I know, I’m a slow learner but now I try to remember to go in mid month so I can stay current.

There is a nice new feature here in town – Atlantic Bank has opened a bill paying center. You don’t even have to have your bill with you. They have real time access to all utilities; electric, telephone, cable and water. Now if we could only get ‘on line’ access so we could pay from anywhere.

You can prepay your bills. Most of our clients do this. You can also pay on line or direct debit.

This is just stupid.

I am using Grant's computer and I just cannot believe the comments on this site-all bills are payable on the first of the month( you then have 15 days leeway)-if you do not know when the first of the month is you do not deserve to be credited with a brain

True! How can bill paying be so difficult!!! If you have e-mail, set up reminders!

I'm not with stupid!!!!!!!

I just have to say "Pre Pay" why? Do you trust the utilities not to "add" a charge and then say well you paid? You expect that getting something back is going to be easy? What if they make a "mistake" and you pay it.
Oh, on: if moving from the island gets you deposit back, then the checks in the mail...
I am all for paying what is due when due but come on give Pedro a break, a simple phone call to say your late or did you forget is a common place activity, but since there is no other choice they have you all by the ......and you can bet your deposit sits in the bank making its own interest. Who gets that for the use of your money?

Thank you John - I was beginning to feel very put-upon!

Life is so simple sometimes
