Hey David,
Yes is 1 word, 3 letters.
Did you have another word in mind?

Once you finish paying a bill with BB, there is a link to see bill payment history. That's a nice page as you can see the nicknames for each payee. I cannot find a way to reach this page without paying a bill. I know there is a Transaction History page where I can see and search for all transactions. But the issue with this page is that it does not lists nicknames. That is I can see I have paid, say, $200 to American Express but I cannot see to which card this payment has gone. Any solution to share?

I have found that if you keep clicking the space where you use to add a payee, the Payment History tab would show up.
On the other hand, if you want to stay on top of things, you really should keep a spreadsheet on the activities because things can get complicated from various loading to various payments. Having a spreadsheet would definitely make it much easier to keep track of everything.

I feel the same way. My mortgage would require a check to be sent. Electronic payments seem to be very predictable. Paper checks are hit and miss as to arrival date. I pay my HOA (paper check) but if it shows up late I don't really care. F'em

Don't F with your HOA. Seriously. It is really staggering the damage and disruption that a malicious HOA can visit on your life.

I agree entirely. I've managed to stay on very good terms with them. Some residents here haven't paid dues in years out of protest. I don't think the are too concerned about me.

Knew someone whose dog crapped in a common area and they didn't clean it up. Community security guard gave a $20 ticket or something which was enforced by the HOA under its bylaws. The guy didn't want to pay it, because "everyone does it." They write him letters, but he throws them away.
Flash forward, the guy goes to sell his house. Takes several months. Finally gets a buyer at a good price. Buyer gets cold feet shortly before closing, but after the period where they would lose their earnest money, which was a lot. Buyer offers like $5,000 to back out. Seller says no. Buyer tries to use the inspection to back out, but seller agrees to fix every item, giving the buyer a contractual obligation to go forward or pay the earnest money.
Title company comes back. Recorded lien on the property from the HOA, which, since not disclosed, gives the buyer the right to back out. Lien amount? About $35. Don't F with your HOA.

People are foolish not to oblige the community's bylaws when choosing to live in a community with such.
It is sad but a necessity the HOAs have to resort to such action to keep people obeying the bylaws but that is the only way to keep the order in a community for the majority of residents who are considerate and obey the rules and regulations of the community for the common good.
This is a good real-life example you posted to show why you dont want to mess with HOA and utility companies and even your medical care providers... especially if you are clearly in the wrong.
