Why I Recommend Automatic Bill Paying Services For Seniors in Atlanta

My mom was an accountant. She balances her books to the penny.

She catches A LOT of mistakes. Some are small, like that extra $20/month mystery fee appearing on your cable bill out of nowhere.

Some are GIGANTIC, like that ambulance ride that cost $2800 instead of $200.

Avoiding erroneous bills can save THOUSANDS, but automatic bill-paying services for seniors in Atlanta offer additional benefits.

Do you know what happens to that life insurance policy they've paid on for decades if they miss a payment?

It's GONE.

What if they're in a car accident during a month when their insurance policy wasn't paid up?

That could cost HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS in liability.

These calamities happen every day, brutally wiping out everything they worked for.

How do things get so bad? The problem is: when something is missed, no alarm goes off.

One day, your dad is on top of his bills, the next, he misses one. But nothing happens. No one calls you. The lights stay on. Netflix keeps streaming his favorite shows.

It’s not until a month or two, or even three, later that things come crashing down. His utilities are shut off. His medical insurance stops paying. His credit card jumps to a 29% interest rate due to missed payments.

Should older adults be victimized like this just because of a memory lapse? Of course not. But they are, and there’s rarely any mercy afforded them in these cases.

To help parents manage their finances, learning how to set up autopay will help protect against major problems without having to juggle all of their bills yourself.

Not only do I recommend this to my clients, but I, too, follow this advice.

I review my bills for errors, but everything is set to autopay. I’d rather spend my time worrying about keeping my clients safe than tanking my credit because a payment slipped through the cracks.

The benefits of auto pay far outweigh any costs. You sometimes even save money from the discounts offered for putting your account on autopay.

If you want the peace of mind that comes from knowing your loved one’s bills are always paid on time, give me a call. I will be glad to go to their home and set this all up for them.

It’s one of the smartest things you can do to protect your loved one and everything they’ve worked for.
