I decide when the bills get paid except where auto insurance is concerned. Esurance will only do business with you if they can draw it directly frmo your account. They don't even send out paper bills. I'm just poiting out the internet is used in so many more ways then people realize. It is truly part of the global infrastructre now, like it or not.

First.... I want more control over my bank accounts than to ALLOW anyone but my wife to make withdrawals without my involvement.
 
Second.... in this day and age, you DO NOT HAVE TO "OWN" a computer. There are many in the community... Libraries and now I even see them in Churches which has classes as well as access.
 
 Just not OWNING is no excuse... Besides, how many people are there, with extended families that don't have computers??
 
KO SHIN.... your Clark Howard explaination is the very reason I fight Direct Deposit. When the activity is being instructed to stop, inertia of the agreement is slow to respond.
 
 

I lean toward NP on this. The technology is evolving toward one device for tv-radio-phone-fax whatever. The carrier for the data will be something like todays internet.

Nonetheless, for the foreseeable future, you'll still have to mail a check to pay your Sharon sewer bill.

You can also have it automatically deducted from your checking account which is easier yet.  Or have it automatically charged to a credit card. 

Since there's so many poor people in Sharon, the sewer authority probably figures that a lot of residents can't afford computers, thus it wouldn't be worth it to have the online payment option.

Unless i'm mistaken, the sewer authority offers no such payment options at all.

Surprising, though, how so many of those impoverished people somehow manage to come up with $70-100 for a cellphone each month.

Jayhawk,
You're mistaken because they have it.
Maybe their cellphones are Tracfones which would only be $15 or $20 per month.

[Spicoli]

...OK...to have one pay bills on-line...is one thing...which we all will be doing soon...IMO...but to let some one...go into your Checking Account...or Automatically Charge your Credit Card... ...that you are asking for Trouble... ...

I've had auto. deductions for my utilities for a long time and I love it!  I never heard of there being any problems with this but then again I haven't had to cancel any providers yet either, so I'll keep an eye out for it if and when the time comes.

Possible, but i'm gonna guess an awful lot of them definitely are not.

And even tracfone is a min. of $30 a month required replenishment of minutes (they and the service expire otherwise)

[Lifetime]

Not.... I am on the double min. plan and it is approx. $30 for ..... 3 months. And if I have more min. than time.... I can pay as little as 5 or 6 dollars to extend the time without the minutes.
 
Again, I don't use my Tracfone to gab on or text/surf. It is a phone only.... if they need more than a 5 or 10 min. period of time... I will email.

You're right. I just checked. They changed it, though, in the past year or two since i last priced it. At the time, minutes rolled over but you had to add to it every month, and the minimum was $25 or $30 to do so.

Or the  pit bulls, chrome wheels and  subwoofers for the car.  Never mind the  tweeters or midrange speakers.  Just subwoofers.  The bigger the better. 

... ...or the Bling...Bling...Body Piercings...Body Art...etc...

Also these loser bitc..s with 4 or 5 kids on welfare who can afford to have several tatoos here and there. Real smart.
