www.MyFreeCheck.com is a great web site inwhich you can pay your bills on line and save the postage too. This site is free and safe. You recieve an email with every updated new bill that you recieve as a reminder that it needs to be paid. I've been using it for about 3 months now and have saved about $20 so far on postage alone. And so much more $ as far as late fees are concerned because through them all bills are paid on time. No more "just because you are one day late" because the mail did not get there in time, late fees!!!
Many of the banks now have a Billpay feature. Some of them, like mine, US Bank, provide this feature for FREE. You can schedule to pay any bill on any date. I am on SS and my check comes the 3rd of the month, So during the month, as my bills arrive, I schedule the Billpay to pay them on the 4th of the month. The date ensures that my SS check, which is automatically deposited into my bank will be there to cover the payments. It saves postage, and saves a couple hours of writing checks and addressing envelopes on my payday. This is better than automatic pay from your account, because you choose the day for the money to be withdrawn. I pay all my utilities and monthly bills this way.

I do the same thing. I charge everything on my cards & pay them off every month. And since I pay them on-line I save on the stamp, envelope & check. If you're way in debt on them consider re-financing & paying them off. The interest rate on your house is way less than credit card interest. Be careful you don't delete your equity to much though. Make sure there's enough room.
