I cant do that , I let a buddy of mine who hit hard times , put the utilities for his place in my name , he didnt pay , so I got a notice , I paid the back amount , but if I am a day late , they are calling me .......... i told them the situation and they were very upset I did that , and like i told them they got paid , so for now on , next time I do that ( and there will be a next time I am a soft touch) the bills get sent to me ..........

It took an act of congress to get the current utilities in my name in the house I am at b/c the owner is in an assisted living housing. I was thinking this thread was more along the lines of electronically or through snail mail. And most of my bills are paid thru online payment or me driving to the office to pay (utility and cable apply here). Yes being in Arkansas we get a post card size bill and forget online payment although they do have drive thru for payment.

I forgot until you mention the above Exxon has Kiosks that allow you to pay several bills there from cell phones to cable. Never used it though.

The thing that sucks aboutpaying online is computer problems.

Mt wife is an accountant, so she handles the bill paying... She does it all via online banking though. It makes it easy for me

Yeah one time I paid my car note on line and the button took a while and then I got four emails messages they accepted my 200 dollars. I freaked out b/c I couldn't afford a 800 dollar bill at the time but lucky most on line payments is delayed at least 24 hours so you can modify it and so I deleted three of the four payments. (customer service department helped me).

I like the idea of a joint account for household bills...but I also like the idea of separate accounts for his/her stuff

With my job , my wife has to handle all of the bills , so naturally she gets all the income .......... Brit I was already WARNED about Valentines day

Computer problems that way...and NO ACCESS at all. Right now my computer has been acting up for a month~can't sign in to anything~ so I have no email at all and can't buy anything online. Hey, at least I have access to the Mane! But anyway...If I had to pay bills online now, I wouldn't be able to at this point.

Being single I guess I pay my bills by putting my payday check in the account and then paying all the bills; ho hum life but has worked for the last 13 years of my working life. For excitement I mail my estimated income tax voucher on the day it is due. And see how long it takes for it to clear.

No email that is so sad. When I moved and didn't have service connected to the present place it was about three days wait with out internet, cable, phone. I was depressed. My parents laughed at me b/c when the cable guy came I was so happy again. They said I was experiencing withdraws. I am a creature of comfort and love internet, cable. Would be lost with out it. Is it a computer problem or service problem?

Joint account for everything. It makes it tough to buy gifts, you gotta pay cash, o.w. she'll find out how much it costs.

My one and only V-day date was going to I hop and walking out b/c it was so God awful slow and then going to Applebees and afterwards going to Baskin Robbins I excused myself to go to the restroom and when I came out I saw a sad girl drowning her sorrow in a quart of ice cream and then saw it was my date!! I work every V day now so no depressed feelings for me.

I think it's a "windows" problem (quit laughing POPPS!) Anyway, I tried to update media player and now I'm getting a "this copy of windows may be counterfeit! Anyway, I had it into a computer shop before this and he had to reload windows. I'm thinking that has something to do with it. No matter. I'm thinking about a new computer anyway. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I can, however, access my email off of any other computer. It's sign-in that I'm having a problem with on mine.

I am getting a new computer this summer when vista has settled down and bugs and glitches worked out. Right now I am experiencing some stuff working better on Explorer and most other stuff working on Firefox. Use Firefox for all bill payments though.
