This is how I pay our Verizon Wireless bill. But, like the article says, I’ll just switch to automatic deduct which is not affected by this. Already do that for all utilities, house payment, car insurance, life insurance, newspapers.
I would NEVER allow a phone, internet or cable company to draft or take my money out of my account. These companies are notorious for their unresponsive bureaucracies.
I allow local utilities, insurance companies with local agents & similar companies to draft my account because I can easily get to a person who can help me fix a screw-up.
My oldest son has a couple of nightmare stores to tell about such companies. I am also a banker who can watch my checking account very closely.
