Debt Dumpers 2025

Correct. I was just going by the disconnect date. But that'll change now. Not sure I, nor anyone, can make 2 payments in a month. But going to change way of paying bills going forward.

I am sure you can find a way to make more than one payment in a month. I seriously doubt any company will turn down your money.

And you have now learned a valuable lesson about understanding your bills and what all the elements mean.

I changed my cell phone contract in July and it has been wrong every month since, I am being overcharged by about $18/month for a data add on that is not required as I have unlimited data now. Each month I use the live chat to ask for it to be credited and every month they say they will credit it (which they do) and make sure it doesn't happen again (but it does). I have now raised it with the second tier of the customer service process to see if they can help. But I am not holding my breath.

Definitely have learned a lesson. It's not that places won't take an extra payment. I'm sure they will. It's that most people can't afford to pay an extra payment every month. That's what I was trying to say.

Most people can’t afford to pay late fees every month either. Tally up all the money you have spent this year on paying your bills late. It’s expensive being poor.

Many posters here have given you tons of ideas on how to at least get financially stable, but it will require stepping out of your comfort zone for a while.

What is in your baseball cards account, or in DW’s hair and nail account? Can you use that to get current on your bills?

You won’t be paying an extra payment every month. You are one month behind. Catch up with two payments in ONE month and then you will be on the correct cycle. Then it will be one payment a month.
Because you are a cycle behind you are always paying late.

So between the 3 late fees a month plus the monthly disconnect notice.. you are paying $700 a year in fees to be late.
