Is $2 extra really going to matter that much?

I understand. I own my own business and pay all my bills online because it is faster. I could understand if they would charge me to send me a bill but this should be cheaper for them if you pay online. I will sign this all day long. I'm sick of the bullshit charges all these companys are charging. Go get them buddy.

That's a case of beer over a 12 month period. That means a lot to me.

If you don't like what they're charging then drop them. Loosing business is the best way to get back. Just look at Netflix.

They just want direct access to customers bank accounts to charge what they want, when they want.

It matters to me when I live in the area that was affected by the BP oil Spill and the money here just isn't what it was when i first moved here.

Do people really think a 100 person petition is going to work?

Sorry but I've never seen any online anonymous petition achieve what it was meant for. As mentioned above, instead of doing a pointless petition, change companies and when they send out their little survey about why did you leave, put down it was because of this.

No need to petition, it's already gone:

It's amazing what Google can do!

I would rather have them charge only that small group a small fee. Now in order to offset the cost, they will raise everyone's bill by more than that $2.

Good. F*ck Verizon and everyone else who is trying to nickel and dime us to death.

There is absolutely no reason to charge to electronic payments. The grids have all been paid for.

Some places are trying to hold checks deliberately until after your due date in order to charge a late fee when they're required by law to honor the post mark date as the "paid" date.

And if any company thinks I'm going to give them direct access to my bank accounts they're insane.
