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

1c bill. = zero

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.

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.

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 :)

Bill me next month

Call them and see if they'll wave the 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.

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