Least expected!!

I use my credit card for my personal expenses and am financially totally responsible for this. I pay it even approximately at times [after buying travel tickets or so].Once I missed it on account of some oversight and for the sake of a measly overdue of some spill over of fifty rupees or so I was charged a penalty of four hundred and fifty rupees[cannot remember exactly but it was above four hundred]; of course I got in touch with customer care and got them to waive it after some convincing .Ever since that occasion I pay my bill online soon after I use my credit card. I hate the concept of paying penalty for some oversight like that and feel terribly guilty about it. I have not had experience as yours but this is just a participation. How did the weekend go? Was it better than what you expected?

ohhhh God is good!! as you are also good

I always pay my bill on time. Even to postpone one day is risky because then I may totally forget it. Waiting till the last date is meaningless. But once, it did happen to me. I got the bill on Tuesday and I thought I will pay on Friday. And then, I totally forgot about it forone whole week.

Hi allknowing, Sometimes life presents you with unexpected incident like this. You are lucky. It could have been what you thought you would get - a fine. Anyway, you probably need to be more careful next time as you'll not always have such lucky escapes. Anyway, as for me I make my utilities payments by giving instructions to the bank to deduct directly each month. So all I have to do is to make sure that I have enough funds in my account. Have a nice day.

we have, we should have payed the bill on a weekday but forgot so what happened was the bill collectors went to our house on a weekend and they got our payment with penalty. i hate it that these people can be very slow in providing service but are here right away when they need to collect the bills.

I had once receive a water sewerage bill and I kept it straight into the cabinet. I do not know why I did that . Until one fine day, I was clearing my cabinet and I realized that I have not paid for the bill and it had been overdued by a month. The company usually send out this billing quaterly. I immediately get it paid and fortunately they did not penalized me for late payment

That's great! I'm never late on my bills. Just the thought of a late fee gives me a sick feeling. I'm glad you got a credit!

There was a time wherein I failed to paid for my phone bill on time. Now not realizing when was the last time I paid, I over paid by a month's bill and was greatly relieved actually coz I do not have to worry about paying for the following month.

i had a loan that i had forgotten completely about so many years later, it came back to "collect" of course. good thing, i had money that i plunked into a mutual fund and also forgotten completely about so i used 3/4 of that to pay it. our electricity bill doesn't allow overpayment, they only accept the exact amount. with the water bill, i round it off, like if it's Php 671, i'd pay Php 675 and they would deduct the amount on the next bill. oh i remember now, our electric meter was changed because it was really old and dirty so it has gotten slow. we were supposed to pay the difference in what was charged to us covering the past 6 months. i paid almost Php 1000 additional on the first bill since it was changed. when i went to their office, they said they've decided to waive the rest since the difference is minimal and maybe because we've always been a good payer for decades and never been involved in illegal connections.
