I got a bill for one cent from the cable-internet provider yesterday. I paid the bill by check over a month ago and they didn’t receive it. I kept getting duns so I called them and it had been about 11 days since I mailed it and they still didn’t receive it. They told me I could give them the check account number and they’d withdraw and pay it so I wouldn’t get a late fee tacked to the next bill. About 3 days later they received the check but apparently it was one penny short (maybe they raised the bill by one cent, I don’t know).

:) 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.
