JUST WHYYYYY??????

 Okay so today is my bill paying day..... 

I went online and paid my auto insurance by talking to a real person in my local office.

No Problems at all.

Next came the power bill... It associated my phone number to my account and boom!! Done deal!!!

Both of those bills took less than 3 minutes each.

My water bill I have to pay in person- OMG seriously... they open at 8am- close at 3pm- except on Fridays when they close up at noon and are closed all weekends. And I work 6am-3pm...Monday thru Friday. And they don't let you call a payment in- it has to be in person pay or mail delivered.

 "Small town USA"...... LOL- But I aint even mad about that.

So I'll get my daughter to run that one by their office on her way to one of her doctors appointments before the due date.

I'm going to pay the Netflix bill when I get home. 

But I did try to pay the Spectrum bill by phone- and online both.  And there lies the issue.

It requires a 4 digit code  specifically linked to my account to be able to accept payment. 

Ummmm... can someone explain to me WHY I can't just pay the dang bill and be done with it? They have my name, my address, the phone number, card number and email address linked to my account- why do I need yet ANOTHER verification to GIVE them my money????? 

Is someone trying to impersonate me and pay my bills? And if so- why aren't you LETTING THEM?????

I mean if someone wants to pay any of my bills- or a portion of any one of them- for goodness sake LET THEM!!! I have Mother's Days, Birthdays, Anniversaries and Christmases coming up- that would be a GREAT surprise gift!!!

Red Tape is RIDICULOUS!!!!!

And for no good sense reason if you ask me.

Just sayin'.....
