If You Got A Bill For One Cent, How Would You Pay It?

We have a check for one cent. A royalty payment for a 1/10,000,000,000,000 interest in some place in Texas.

:) how about sending them a check for 2 cents. And wait and see how they handle it. Will they send you a refund check for one cent?

50 years ago I worked for a business services organization that provided billing accounting services for a number of companies. Our charges were in part based on “per transaction” . Mostly between 5 and 7 cents per transaction that had to be keyed in and verified. Recording check payments is a difficult transaction to automate. Just watch a bank teller process a deposit. In todays world easily a 10 cent cost.

Mail them a penny

I would be careful as to who you give any bank info to over the phone. There are alot of scam artists out there.

I would call, ask them what their problem is, and threaten to cancel my service if they don't remove it.
Of course, this is all contingent on getting ahold of a real person.

I wouldn’t have to.. the removed 1-2 cent coins. Everything’s goes up or down in 5c increments..

1c bill. = zero

As long as you don't get a $10 late fee for one penny, then pay it next month.

If it was I that short a penny, I'd let them send the collectors.

Call them and see if they'll wave the penny.

Bill me next month

Sounds like the old computer rounding thing.

If you ignore it the next bill will have a $15+ late fee for a total of either $15.01 or $15.00, depending on how the computer felt that day :)

🤦🏼‍♂

Send them a check for next month's payment + a cent.
