Indeed it would be time to switch, carriers that is.

I was in the hospital and then in a recovery facility for a couple of months earlier this year. From that experience I would never change to paperless statements. My bills would have been overdue, maybe some of them cut off and my credit ruined by the time I got out and felt well enough to use my computer again.

But my family brought my paper bills by and wrote out paper checks for them and I was able to sign them.

I know the cost of printing and mailing the bills is an expense creditors would like to be rid of. But no thanks. It's not so much the cost of pinting the bills but the cost of postage and mailing.

Note that the mailing itself is a separate cost than the postage.
