You have my sympathies. My insurance keeps sending me a bill for $5 for "unpaid services". Every time, I tell them everything is accounted for, and they remove the charge. Only to get another one a week later.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoI suggest when you reply regarding the erroneous charge, you send it certified mail return receipt ($7 at your local USPS), and build a paper trail. It ensures any discrepancies will be resolved in short order if you need to pursue legal remedies. Conversely, when you make payments that you might encounter turbulence on, write a check (I know, gasp) or a USPS money order. Once it clears, save the front and back of the check images as proof of payment (for the money order, save a copy of the receipt and the entire check and receipt assembly prior to mailing or delivery). I've found this to be much more effective than a debit or credit card line item on a statement. There are few weapons more powerful than a properly assembled paper trail, and the mere act of showing you're building one is usually enough to get action taken.
- vidanay 8y agoThere's the rub. It's 40% more expensive to get the certified letter (which doesn't guarantee the issue will go away) than it is to just pay the ghost bill, get a receipt and it's guaranteed to be done.
