I don't think its changed at all, since those flyers and junkmail are included with the bills in question.

 

Still a young one trying to figure out what maturity is?




I write the check, stamp the envelope, & reinsert it in the mail the same day I get the bill. That way it is done & over with. You know the saying out of sight, out of mind.

In the memo line? I write my account number for that bill.

 

When I was in college I paid back some money loaned to me by a good friend of mine. She told me she was quite embarrassed when the teller noticed "For services rendered" in the memo portion.

 

if you only knew. edit: comment removed

There is such a thing as 'too much information."

 

Hi Carlene!!!


bluemoose89,

To me a question mark means that a question is being asked. I do believe a question mark was positioned behind my statement.
I also answered your question with what I do with the memo section on my checks.


To bad I didn't read the comment before it was edited. Since it was edited, I assume it was a insult towards me. Oh well. Insults don't bother me. have to much hell & drama in my life to worry about insults.

 

would that actually work? cause if it does I have some of those large 100lb cinder blocks...

 

Yes, you are forced to buy their service, how do you not have electricity? and since you are forced to buy their service, they provide ABSOLUTELY ZERO service, and charge you whatever they feel like, I have never had a CHOICE of who to do business with for electricity, here its Avista, Avista, or Avista. I believe rate increases have to be approved by some agency and admittedly know very little about that process, but the lack of competition is an issue

It was never Said that One should receive said services for free, you pay for a service, whats being complained about is the cost of said services.

This one I agree with you on, TV stinks IMO, and the cable company is the biggest rip off artist of all of them IMO, we just HAVE to have cable internet though, so they still get our $50 a month

Paying the feds is the one thing I have never complained about, the wheels of democracy need grease and new tires now and again, and that stuff costs money........how they spend the money is the potential problem, which could be a Whole new thread and a VERY long one at that......and a very political one too.

Thanks all for the always stimulating witty banter, back to the tech forums I go.

 

It may be apropos if you were actually sending your payment to the "owner" of the utility. However, the reality is that it's received by some working stiff in the accounts receivable department getting paid barely enough to get by, let alone maintain a sense of humor.

 

Even better, the whole bill receiving thing is usually outsourced to another company, and the real utility company (much less a working stiff) never even sees those checks.

Do you really want to say something to the utilities? Write letters to your utility company, representatives, senators, etc. Do it the "mature" way -

Better yet, don't like the electricity company? Get a generator, haul your own gas back and forth, maintain the generator yourself (change oil, filters, lube bearings), etc. Then, wire the thing to the house yourself, and don't complain when you forget to fill the tank when it's 10 degrees outside. I'm sure you'll be paying the electric company again in no time...

Even here on Long Island, with our outrageous electricity prices, the cost of the gas alone makes up for paying the electricity bill...
