I prefer paper statements.  I open them, put the amount owed and the date on the envelope, and all those statements in their envelopes go in a basket on my chest in the bedroom.   When I walk by in the morning I can see if I need to make a payment that day. 

Also, I have been keeping track of my outgo vs my SS income since I started SS last year.  I like to do that all at one time, and looking up all the individual statements on the computer I'm using to track these things is a big hassle.  I don't have that much screen room.  

I got my letter regarding my Synchrony CC and my Lowes account (managed by Synchrony) and haven't used either of those accounts since.  I can get the military discount on Lowes using my husband's phone number which is the same 5% discount you get for using the Lowe's card.  I haven't received a letter concerning my Belk account though.....yet.  I am thinking about at least complaining to Lowes about it though since they just sent me a new card.

I have no bills that require me to pay via automatic withdrawl.  I pay online for all except my Credit Union CC which I can either drive to and pay or pay via a withdrawl from vy Credit Union checking or savings if I don't want to make the drive.  I just don't want to pay that one via my regular checking account since there's no control over how long it takes to get there.  

I still write a check to church.

• I'm still laughing at the letter and email I received from them.  At the rates and fees they are charging, I was wondering if anyone is still banking with them.  😂

I do not receive any paper bills and I did not receive a letter.  I don't need the bill to pay and saves me from having to shred as well.  I just go on line and pay my Q card.  Lately I have been pushing bills ahead so I can  get done with the easy pays.  

I would not pay for a statement either.  They get us coming and going.

Yes, and when I called customer service they abruptly said if I wanted to discuss this I could call the bank.  I always pay my bill on time and in full.  When I added up my EP over the next few months it only came to $225 total. I could easily pay it and be done with them but they probably wouldn't get it right.  I will stop shopping and just pay the bill until I owe them nothing.

  For people who sign up for paperless statements, does this mean they have to pay online as well?  I don't pay anything online or do any online banking.

HSN has a feature on your e-z pays to pay now if you don't want to wait til it's due. I set up e-z pays sometimes on purchases. After I receive my purchases sometimes I go in to click on pay now so I don't have to deal with it.

Check QVC to see if they have this option if you want to pay it all now.

I tried to give you more hearts but it won't let my? LOL!!!

After going through the file cabinet shredding everything & burning up my shredder I don't want the papers either. I did buy another shredder.

@Pamita   Have them email your bill.  We haven't gotten a bill in the mail in decades.

@kaydee50 @Pamita 

Banks are not going to send your statement by email. That's not secure.

They will send you a link when your statement is ready to view or pay.

You have to login to your account to view or pay your bill.

I resent these charges coming from banks and credit cards.

Discover bank doesn't charge for paper statements and includes postage paid envelopes.

I called customer service and I had them change all my easy pays to a different card.
