Yeah, it's not all peachy there either. I made the same assumption till I went to the bank to "block" a service-provider that kept insisting on billing me. They "blocked" the service-provider from charging me for 3 months, then they were apparently obligated to let it through because they could only do it for 3 months. At which point, the service-provider just back-charged me for those three months and continued anyways.



I mean I actually have the bank send checks. Is that how you had that set up?


Do you not need to worry about the mail getting lost?


No, mail service is pretty good.


That's what I thought too, but then I got Informed Delivery and saw some envelopes never arrive...


Mine always arrive eventually, sometimes just not on the day the email is sent.


I've seen that happen too, yeah.


I figure the folks owed money will follow up with me, and have never had that happen.
