Next , you need to contact the Post office to forward all your mail. Next you need to contact every company you deal with of your new address. Retirement system/ company, Health insurance, credit cards , drs, banks, annuities/stock companies, cable( due to the final bill) , phone, oil/ electric ( due to final bill, water ( again final bill) etc. ( don’t forget anyone and do it for everyone you ever get snail mail from - I suggest making a list and checking it twice, lol. ) including friends not on your fb page if you use that. This is the paper trail you will need in order to live. Good luck
Old school perhaps but we still use paper checks. You mention water bill etc. I was amused that our NY water company turned us over for collection. We had a cancelled check showing the bill was paid with a note on the back close account bill paid in full and a note sent with a copy of the final bill.
Went on and on. Now I find it amusing how pathetically stupid paid company representatives are. Wasted a lot of my time. But, it is finally resolved and I have a letter, that I insisted on showing they have been paid in full. These companies have a computer run of bills not paid. Rather than investigate, they turn you in to a low life
bulk collection agency. You are forced, unpaid, to do their work and prove you paid the bill
