is tfs bill pay recommended?

I set it up for March 30th, actual due date for my first payment is on my birthday 4-6-17 , hoping tsf bill pay works well and it's a set it and forget way to pay. My trustee won't accept checks or bill pay checks just money orders or cashiers checks. tsfbill pay fee is only $3 for my planned payment. My 341 is 4-25-17.

Hi there. I used billpay and it works great. Your payment actually arrives to the trustee 5 business days after your scheduled date. It works great and no fears about where the
envelope is with the post office. Good luck as your plan gets started.

What Sophie said. I've been using TFS for about two year now. Never had an issue. I request the payment on a Thursday, it gets withdrwan from my bank on the following Monday and it posts on NDC on Friday or Saturday.

I've been using it for almost three years. Never skipped a beat, and its nice to know I have the control to stop it, rather than letting the courts take it through garnishment.

I like it because you can do once, twice, biweekly a month and have complete records of the same. Love it!!

I've used it for one year now, and it's been flawless. However, it almost always takes 7 business days to post, so you just be aware of that. It has never been 5 business days for me.

That is true to the day VolFan, it is 7 days.

Same here, at least a week to get there. I was doing the USPS Priority next day/Bank check for the first 28 or so payments. The past 6 months I've been using TFS. The last straw for me, with the mail, was when NDC had no record of my payment arriving two weeks after USPS said it was delivered. I called the bank and they said the check was cashed the day after arriving at the trustee's office. I called them and they said they didn't get the check. After some help from the bank, I found out it was cashed......by the Trustee's office. That was a stressful few days.

TFS was convenient for me, because I don't like standing at my post office to buy a postal money order and stamp. My first 11 months was standing in line at the post office.
