I don’t like the automated pay thing myself. I’ll take the trouble to write the checks. I’m just not comfortable with signing to let anyone help themselves to my checking account whenever they feel like it.
I don’t do the auto pay thing, except for a couple of them I was having trouble remembering to pay on time. Mostly I go to the site and authorize a one time payment with my debit card. Haven’t had much trouble with it. SOOO much easier than making myself sit down to pay bills. Used to pay them through quicken, but now I generally just do it on their web site. I think it is the only way I’ve ever made a house payment.

I started using web bill pay with my credit union. At first, I didn’t think I’d like it. Now you can’t get me to write a check for routine bills.
