Why haven’t I heard about this before?

As you may be aware bill payment services have been around for a very long time.  However up until now it hasn’t been affordable to the average person.  Professional Athletes, Actors and other High Networth individuals pay people to manage their bills.  However, these services usually cost $100 to $400 a month so the average person can’t afford these services.  Now with our propriety system we are able to manage, track, keep you informed and pay your bills on time every time for about the same price as one Late payment.

What if I can’t connect a bill to your online system?

With bills that are not yet setup to have us pull the data we have two options.

Option number one is to set the payment higher than what the minimum payment may be (This is best usually for credit cards).  If the payment changes to an amount higher than what we set the payment at you will have to notify your representative. 

Option Number Two our premier service allows you the ability to change your mailing address to ours we will scan in your bill then post it to your account and change the amount on of your payment to reflect that amount you owe.
