Dancing Around the Four Sides

I hate when companies pull Stupid Customer Dis-Service Tricks like that. *grrr*

My mother's pre-Medicare health insurance company used to print payment invoices and then hold them until a few days before the due date, which was strictly enforced. (The two-weeks to ten days difference between when the date it was printed and the postmark did not go unnoticed by me.) There were a few times when I had to pay to overnight a payment to the company. It was such a happy day when she turned 65 and I could tell them to go stuff themselves.
