What was the name of your first grade teacher?
OK, that would be Mrs. Johnson. M-r-s-.-J-o-h-n-s-o-n.
Click.
Answer does not match our records. Try again.
Maybe I spelled it Ms. instead of Mrs. M-s.-J-o-h-n-s-o-n.
Click.
In what city were you married?
OK. Now, let’s see, did I answer with or without the state? And if I gave the state, did I spell it out or abbreviate it? Why did I not write these things down? I’ll try it the simplest way first. S-p-r-i-n-g-f-i-e-l-d.
Click.
Yeah. Success. And there is my password. ********.

OK. Now I’m getting a little frustrated. It shouldn’t be this hard. I am using the password they gave me. I answered the security questions correctly. What is wrong with these people? Don’t they know how to program their computers? I mean, I am trying to give them money, not take it from them.
Wait a minute. There are eight little stars in the password they gave me, but I typed nine little stars for my password. Oh, I see. I added an extra character. Silly me. Try again.
Click here to pay this bill.

Enter your ID and password.
My ID. ********.
Ah. There. I’m in. Now to pay the bill.
Enter your personal information.
My name. My address. My telephone number. My account number. My Social Security number. My checking account number. My bank routing number. The amount of the bill. OK. I think that is it.
Click.
This is not a valid account number. Please enter your account number.
You know what? This isn’t working. Let me try a different click. I’ll just open this desk drawer here, and, yes, there it is. My checkbook. And my pen. Thumb on top of the button on the end of the pen.
