not even sure if it is worth paying off all your final bills before leaving the island because they will screw it up one way or another.  Paid off my final phone bill, the week before we left, they either lost the cheque or put it on someone elses account, because they sent us the same bill again, I emailed them, no reply, they sent the same phone bill again, my mother-in-law went and paid it.  Took the cablevision boxes in asked for my final bill told them I was leaving the island, they gave me an amount, I paid it, they sent me another bill.  Mind you this is the co that billed my dead grandmother for almost a year even after several phone calls, finally they stopped sending bills, but a few months later I received a letter addressed to my grandmother from bda credit assoc for a cablevision bill.  Just received a land tax bill, now I am not too sure who is at fault here, lawyers or government but still getting a bill I shouldn't be getting.  There have also been a few other small bills which despite being paid we keep getting demands for.

all done, it is just the frustration of having to keep going over the same thing, and still being ignored.

Bummer!! 

Really simple solution....

Open second account if you don't already have one...  and then transfer money from one to the other online periodically... they'll stay open FOREVER!!! 

That's gotta be worth a Karma point??

the redirecting of our mail is working, but then it is being sent on to my mother-in-law in bermuda who either sends it to us or chucks it out.  Belco were the easiest to deal with, we moved out, stayed in a hotel, and they did the meter reading, but we still had to wait a month or more for the final bill, the same with Bdawaterworks.

now thats funny because when I called to cancel the phone I requested that they close the account on June 6, over a week from the date I was calling, I was told sure no problem, they cancelled the phone at that exact moment of my call leaving us without a phone for over a week.  Thank god for cell phones.  Idiots.

I am still getting Land Tax bills even though I sold the house 6 months ago and the final bills were settled by my lawyer.
