Well, since I have to go do the Family Crisis business, I was going to find out about paying my rent. I no longer pay my rent electronically. The management of my otherwise very good apartment rental corporation has switched to a new portal, which is insecure. (I always read the privacy statements on financial contracts. They state that they aren't secure at two points, maybe three -- it's been awhile. Not with my bank info, they aren't.) So, I've been writing checks for rent and for the water/trash/bug man. This is a hassle when I'm out of town.
I can't give them the check before I leave, because they have to deposit same day. Don't like them so well that I want to give them two months of rent up front! If I pay with a Visa, I am assessed a $33 fee. My bank does not do eCheck, and I don't want to give the info to a third party. The apartment complex apparently doesn't know their bank account deposit number -- and I don't want to get into an argument with the customer service rep at the portal, trying to get it out of them.
Apparently I'm down to either calling the portal to try and get the code from them, or mailing checks to the complex.
I hope "annoyed" is still an option on Mood. Thank the universe the house in Michigan is paid off. It's looking like I'm going to need to find a new home. This one is slowly becoming a problem.
