It used to be as long as you paid SOME of your Telecom bill by the due date, you could pay the rest the following month without penalty.
Not anymore.
Last month I paid about 3/4 of the total bill due to my slack flatmates not coughing up – on time. It’s probably the third time in my entire life I’ve ever done that; it’s not like I make a habit of this.
Just got the August bill with a $7.50 late fee on the outstanding portion. Not impressed.
Don’t get the impression that I don’t pay my bills (even the portions I don’t rack up). I had eighty dollars in cash and opted to just put that towards the bill on the spot, rather than faffing around with deposits/bill splitting/money transferring. I did that with (I thought) the knowledge that I could do that safely.
Ah well, that’s what you get when you’re tied to a greedy corporate *sigh*
