My Weird Bill Payment Method

**Arkansas_Ranger** · 12-10-2009, 10:03 PM

Ok, so I get an envelope today from Verizon Wireless with a check enclosed that I made out to the company I financed my truck through. I'm like WTH?! There's nothing else in there, and then I realized I was an idiot and mailed my truck note check to Verizon.

Naturally, I assumed I sent my Verizon check to the truck finance company. I called said truck finance company and found out that the amount of the Verizon check had been posted to my loan. Another WTH?!?!?! I'm looking at my check duplicate, and I clearly made it out to VERIZON and not Bank of America, but BoA processed it and took the money! I would think that's a tad unlawful. Ken??

So anyway, I finally get to talk to a native English speaker and pay the amount that I did owe with the old reliable debit card, plus I got the Verizon amount refunded. I'll receive the check in about seven business days.

Next, I call Verizon and again utilize the old reliable debit card and paid the cell phone bill.

Geez. So after talking to all these I thought I'd just go ahead and pay that pesky $395 off on my Chase card that I spent recently.

I thought I'd beat them to the bill, and I did. So again using the old reliable debit card I paid that off too. What a night. I'm tired now.

Unlawful? Well, it's a violation of the Uniform Commercial Code. However, there are no penalties for that! If you're a bank, or one of a bank's large customers, the bank will accept almost ANYTHING they deposit, regardless of how much it's for or who it's made out to.

Once again, the laws let banks get away with almost anything at the expense of the little guy!

I have no idea how my bills get paid.

I go to the post office and pick up the mail. When I get home I put it on the kitchen counter. Over the next couple day the pile of mail gets smaller and smaller until its gone. My electricity, phone, gas and cable are still working and no one has tried to repo my truck.

Weird....,

Weird....,

I have a dishwasher like that. Wife keeps saying we need a new one. I'm like 'hell no, this one works great'.

Are you two trying to die before Christmas?! Gutsy. Foolish but gutsy.

Verizon irks me. My local location charges a "cash handling fee" of $3, if you go in and pay your bill with real money! If you use a check or card there is no fee. They told me, they would rather that you pay your bill over the phone than in person and do not like dealing with cash!

Be nice to Verizon. My local service(land line) is not billed and a 20% discount on my wireless. It's your civic duty to keep expenses down for the elderly.

This morning I asked my wife who pays our bills. She gave me a look that was nothing short of evil.

At least she didn't say "The same person that used to (pick what you would miss most and place it here) for you.

**klkak** · 12-11-2009, 12:37 PM

Believe me, the look she gave was enough.

Dog Man! You should be ashamed of yourself. You are bad mouthing the top tier in the wilderness. An APEX predator. That's so unlike you. You should take another serious look at your attitude and realize the many of us rely on that $3 for coffee money. You wouldn't want guys like Coot and me to go without coffee now would you?

I recently encountered a weird seller while shopping online. At first, everything seemed normal, but as the conversation progressed, the seller started mentioning odd phrases, like 소액결제 우회사이트. I wasn't sure what it meant, so I did a quick search and discovered that it referred to a payment bypass site often used for microtransactions. It was a strange experience, and I immediately stopped communication. I still wonder why the seller brought it up and whether it was legitimate.
