I actually didn't have that issue, even pre-May. They automatically held it until the full amount came in which was about a day or two.

Hmm, when I had a block I was using two evolve accounts to pay the same bill, but they told me it was being blocked because i paid more than 4 times (not an auto generated email either).

I made it very clear, very politely, that I was very happy to abide by their rules now that I was aware of them, but that I honestly was not aware of the restriction on multiple accounts before I made the payments.

It's definitely worth it me trying to call back, but I'm wondering what I could say that would be more effective.

I did it over email. Just pointed out how their system is flawed. I'm a programmer and to manually have to handle situations where programming can EASILY prevent the situation from even coming up is just not smart. Maybe/hopefully they took my suggestions into consideration.

What were you paying and how many payments were you making?

Car/home loan with lots of $100/$200's. I was out on vacation in China when these changes came through and hadn't read about them until it was too late.

any way to verify the recipient?
 
one thing that's held me back from trying evolve is that it seems only to allow you to search specifically by name, and does not give you any other information about the recipient.

at the very least, i'd at least like to know the billing address for the recipient, to ensure that my payment is going to the right place. i suppose i could try a $1 payment to verify, but that seems like a waste.

i have two accounts i'd like to try with evolve. but i get three matches with the first account, and the second account regrettably has the same name as a debt collector.

If you aren't willing to try $1 as a test, then this is too much work for you.

Could someone using Navy FCU as a biller please PM me? Thanks.

.

If they have multiple addresses, Evolve makes you to chose one. At least three of my accounts (two student loans and car loan) asked for the address.

The account had not been reactivated when I attempted the bill pay on 7/2/14 for some reason. The CSR reactivated my account and my Staples Visa Gift Card went through without a hitch. I'll let you know in 2 days if I can make payments with the Simon Gift Card when the funds are back. I'm not buying more until I'm assured an easy way to liquidate them.

The hold on my Simon Gift Card disappeared today and my Evolve Bill Pay was successful. That was annoying.

The system can fail, even if the $1 test is passed.
I chose the correct company and entered the account number, which was accepted. The test payment cleared 3 days later, so I
made 14 x $200 payments over 3 days. This was May 29 before the 4 payment rule.

Despite the 'green light' on Evolve that the payments cleared, my invoice from the company did not show that the payments were made.

I have been trying to get back my $2800 since early June.

I'm pretty po'd by now, as you can imagine.

Recently, I have received the same "CH11" error (card info not recognized or incorrect) whenever I try and pay a bill. I am using my TD Go debit. Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: NVM, I think this has to do with the fact that I hit my weekly 2K spend limit on TD Go.

I would say the test isn't complete until credit shows at the biller. Sounds like your $1 never showed.

Obviously....BUT when the test payment shows as a green "Delivered" on Evolve's completed transactions page, and I chose the correct biller and the system accepted my account number, you would think that my due diligence was done.

Evolve sent the payment to a different division of the company, and as we all know, those divisions don't talk to each other.

I would think it would be easy for Evolve to reverse the transaction, but they can't or won't.

So I call every 3 days and escalate to an impotent supervisor.

I'm sticking with Bluebird.
