Allow me to rephrase…

_I_ can pay everything electronically without doing auto payments at all.

That is because of the fees credit card company uses. Has nothing to do with state of Florida. That charge is everywhere. Simply a cost of doing business.

Suggest you move somewhere else and take your entitled attitude with you. Most of us really enjoy living here...

Never mentioned that I didn’t use online banking. My last set of checks were ordered in 1999, and I still have extra.
Just stated all bills are paperless. However Deans does not allow any billing, I don’t allow them access to my bank. Paid through Amex, if it’s wrong, Amex takes care of it in minutes

Entitled? Never in my life. Moved here to help my 68 year old husband who has Alzheimer’s. Thought I would get support and good health care.

Citizens teller told me to be sure to check because the auto draft program doesn’t work well. TELLER told me that!

Yes, I am complaining and sadly beginning to regret my move here for sure.

Use CC for most auto-pays. Then if any problems you can always dispute payment. Use a cash back card that offsets most if not all transaction fees the company charge

We owed $3 to Mass. toll roads and their drive thru camera's which was fine. Their site wanted $3.99 to put on credit card but the bank transaction was free. If you want to put your taxes on a credit card and you pay you bill in total that's not a bad deal but look out for late fees and interest if you don't.

Same here. Deans lost a customer because they refused to bill me monthly and refused to even let me pay monthly with my credit unions online bill pay.

My VCDD is auto deducted but we stay away from Citizens Bank. We stay away from The Villagers owned companies to give business to the competitors whether its banking, insurance etc.

We moved here several years ago. At that time we set up our checking with Citizens Bank. They even helped us set up our payments by automatic check for Homeowner fees, electric, and gas. Their customer service is their strength.

We use Citizens, my only complaint is that they send a physical statement, I get the electronic version but can't stop the paper version.

Same with Leesburg Electric. I receive the electronic bill by email, I pay it, and then they still send me a paper bill in the mail.

What? I moved here with my 68 year old husband who has Alzheimer’s for support and health care. I have never been entitled in my life. Worked for everything I have. Yes, I’m complaining and sadly beginning to regret my move here.
