Automatic Payment

We signed up for the Automatic Payment option for our gas bill, which means that they withdraw money from our Checking Account automatically when the payment is due. It's a pretty convenient way to do it as long as you know you'll always have enough in your account at the end of the month.

One warning, though. Signing up for Automatic Payment, we didn't realize that it wouldn't come into effect until next month, so we looked today and saw that the payment was never made! We called the gas company and explained what happened. They'll most likely waive the late fee, but we were worried!

So when signing up for Automatic Payment, always check the first month and see that the payment is made!
