I pay EVERYTHING by automatic withdrawal or automatic debit because I am on the road so much that it is pretty much the only way I know everything will get paid on time. I had to mail a check to the city for Cooper's dog license and it took me almost an hour to figure out where I had stashed my checkbook. I never use it!
Only once in many years of doing this have I had to fight to get $$ back when it was improperly withdrawn and of course, that was with AT&T.
I got a new company CC and wanted to wait a few months before I set up the automatic payment so I could be sure they weren't charging me a bunch of bogus fees etc. Yep, 4 months in, I forgot to make a payment. Was due on the 6th, on the 7th I got a call from a very nice lady telling me if I made a payment while we were on the phone, they'd waive the late fee.
Two more months and I'll put them on automatic- can't wait.
