I swear by Paytrust! I've been using them for eight years. I couldn't live without it.

Well, sounds like we got a new job for the nerds: Get by and collect the mail of single professionals. For extra credit they get opened and answered;)

Here’s another vote for http://www.paytrust.com . I’ve been using their service for more than a few years now and recommend it to everyone. It’s cheaper than hiring a personal assistant to take care of those things for you. Just setup some very flexible payment rules and you’re done. Invaluable service.

I had this happen with my phone … I had set up electronic billing, only for some reason it never went through. I’m a bit more diligent now about checking to make sure that they are actually taking money out of the account.

It sounds like you need to hire a personal assistant Mike.

Pay your bills, walk the dog, have the house cleaned, entertain your girlfriend when you’re out of town. The basics.

lol, you lucky you dont live in Cape Town South Africa where I reside. The electricity goes off due to power station failure, regardless of whether you pay yor bills or not…… Ok, well we went thru a phase of power failures and seems to be all fixed now even after they shipped in a new reactor. Still I understand your frustration, being without power makes one quickly realize how dependant we are on it.

Aaron, if you read the post, he says he hasn’t paid bills since July. I assume that’s several bills.

Aaron, it looks like he hadn’t paid bills since July…that’s probably enough time to warrant it getting shut off.

http://www.paytrust.com – they receive all of my bills (even paper ones), scan them, and pay them by rule if they are under amounts that I set. At the end of the year they ship me a CD with all of the PDFs and records.

The interface sucks but the service works well. They were purchased by Intuit a while back so they’ll be around.
