the only problem - in the US - with this is that the more you tell them the more they will bill you. It's like as if every little piece of information that otherwise should help a doctor identify what's wrong and result in a faster and more accurate diagnosis makes the billing department's job that much easier. Now they don't have to break down one single item and charge you 10 ways, they can break down each of your statements and charge you 10 ways for each.
