History Of Paying Bills

[wheelia]

When I was much younger I worked in finance and there was a company that would pay bills for a fee.
Please can anyone tell me the name of this company , it is driving me mad trying to remember .

In this day of direct debits and direct transfers I`m surprised anyone needs help paying their bills.

Can you remember the decade?

[wheelia]

This was back in the 70's or 80's

I am drawing a blank in searching, hopefully someone with a better idea of the history of these budgeting companies will know.

Hi Mamyalynne, I had already searched but could find nothing. Perhaps one of my former colleagues will remember.

[Mamyalynne]

Good point,worth asking them.

I remember that. They added up all your bills over a year, divided it by 52 and added their fee on. The collector came to your house every week for your payment and all your bills were paid. A lot of people struggled to save for their quarterly utility bills so this system helped. If only I could remember the name

It would have kept me awake all night.. They are still in business, costs in the region of £20 a month
