Anyone have ideas on how to pay bills if you close your bank accounts? Banks are the enemy.

Around here, you can't use plastic to pay water or electric. It has to be cash or check.
We can,it varies a lot by location.
Yes. And on top of that, our local phone office stopped taking payments at all, so they have to be mailed. The main problem I have with mailing is that I have to mail early to be certain of getting it to them on time, and every day it's early is interest they can make on my money. I used to pay all my cash bills at the very last minute because of that. I know it's almost nothing now, but when I was younger, bank interest was a lot higher. It averaged a whole 4% when I was in school.
Yes they make it hard to pay with cash. I would mail it early a week or two interest is less than the late fee,I suspect.
