25. When I say rounding down
I paid $____.20 instead of $____.70, but to be fair, you're missing the point of the OP
In my best Ron White impersonation...
Don`t let a DUmmy pay your ****** bills.
Sometimes it is just hard to not explode at these cretins.
If the bill says you owe 100.70 that means you owe 100.70,not anything different.
The computer that does the receivables and prints the statements doesn`t see the humor or angst in your payment of anything different,nor does the bookeeper that has to enter your payment exactly as it was sent.
It will calculate perfectly that you are .70 cents short and will keep that figure applied in a 30 day field with service charges against it.
If it was a mistake most places will do a journal entry to waive it and balance the books but here it sounds as if the DUmmy is routinely doing it for whatever insane or bizarre reason they might have.
If that gets out to a point (usually 120 days past due) regardless of the amount it will kick it to collections if that is how it is programmed.
For being such super intellects they rarely demonstrate much knowledge of how things in the world actually work.
