Power company recently outsourced their payment system and now have to pay a fuckin’ fee to pay my goddamned bill. The only way to avoid that is autopay.
Further infuriating is I have to re-add my bank info to yet another third party system.
Fuck the modern world, man.
Why would you not want automatic payment?
For me, telecom companies just randomly jack the costs and hope you don’t look. I’ve caught them constantly adding $20 to my set rate and claim ‘oh this special promotion ended’ when I don’t even have promotions.
Never trust companies to just take your money without looking at the invoice.
They aren’t allowed to just do that. Being allowed to directly withdraw money from customers accounts who authorized it is a privilege, one that banks can withdraw if they find a company abuses it.
If you accidentally overdraft your account the bank charges you a bs $45 fee
Dafuq. Glad that’s not a thing here.
Data breaches expose your banking numbers
So? It’s not like they are a secret. What are any potential hackers going to to with my bank account numbers? Send me money?
