But it's always clearly itemized every month - & believe me I DO check it! Your post reminds me why I always email rather than calling if I can - all those numbers thrown out there verbally seem way more confusing than if they were written in an email LOL-Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190834507819992504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-37748667163785523842013-01-04T02:31:25.602-05:002013-01-04T02:31:25.602-05:00Remember the time I went and sat in BOA's lobb...Remember the time I went and sat in BOA's lobby till they paid let me pay off my sons school loan with the money I had..they went out of there way with every excuse and I actually sat on the floor and told them I would not leave till they processed it and gave me a reciept(yes with my sons permission he was at work). I told every person who walked in they wouldn't let me pay off a debt...so maybe you need to pack up everyone and sit in there office till they fix it.<br /><br />I hate utility companies and they hate customers like us that just don't blindly pay our bills without explanationsj udyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03899060198377746353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-50135063804412961992013-01-03T22:26:18.937-05:002013-01-03T22:26:18.937-05:00My settle up amount is always clearly outlined.

Many people do just pay every month without even looking at their bills. I am far too frugal to not check my bills for errors.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410176479138340024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-45875031504173988262013-01-03T14:59:13.436-05:002013-01-03T14:59:13.436-05:00Don't take no for an answer either: I was over...Don't take no for an answer either: I was overcharged £32 recently on a bill, and went online to pay it, so I deducted the £32 and settled the remainder - sending the company an email explaining why I wasn't paying the extra money.

Our high bills are in the summer when the A/C runs 24/7 but in the winter they have been as low as $60.. Also the entire house has LED bulbs, dusk to dawn timers outside, timers inside, not sure if things like that make a difference but I'm sure it saves a little bit.<br /><br />HSHS @ Our Debt Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131857251377260758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-79810719910253566242013-01-03T12:22:02.502-05:002013-01-03T12:22:02.502-05:00This is why I don't do the budget plan.
