Bill Payment Dates - don't know if this will help anyone

mountainofdebt

but doing the bills this morning - well working out when the last possible date for paying them more like! - it struck me that I often forgot about weekends and bank holidays.

So what I've done is to put on the statement the date that I have to pay them by in red ink rather than look at the date that the payment has to be made by...thus reducing the chances of getting a late payment charge. (yes I know their considered to be illegal but prevention is always better then cure!)

What i do is as soon as I get the bill I book the payment I am going to make on internet banking for the date it should leave my account so it cannot be overlooked. If I find that I cannot pay that amount or can pay off more then it is easy enough to change.
