If you are with Citizens Bank, you have the ability to electronic check write. I have not written a check (other than birthdays and occasions) since 1988. Electronic check write in every bank I have seen is very easy and safer than writing checks or auto deduct. Too many times errors are made by your creditors that auto pay would not catch and if you did not make a weekly effort, neither would you. The safety is also there for being charged late fees. I automatically have every account that I pay each month set up for at least a minimun amount for that reason. Mortgage loan payments, and other constant charges are set up to automatically pay by my electronic checking. I take about 4-5 minutes a month to pay all other bills that i get, including credit cards that will vary each month. The world is upto date with this century, it seem you are merely lazy and want to let your creditors do your finances.
