Find the payments that hide from the autopay list
Find the repeating payments that never appear in your bank’s autopay list.
People search their automatic payments, find nothing, and conclude they have no subscriptions. Then $9.99 goes out again the following month.
A repeating payment can be set up in three quite different ways, and each is stopped somewhere different.
Key points
- Find the card payments that never appear in an autopay list
- See what a handful of small monthly payments come to in a year
- Ask your bank to refuse further charges from one company
What to remember
- Some banks call this “recurring card payments”. Look for the word card.
- Two lists at the bank, one on the phone. Then nothing is hidden.
Try this
Open your own regular payments and look for a list with the word card in it. Cancel nothing. Only look.
