Some suppliers, such as telephone service companies, will provide you with a payment card to enable you to pay some money as often as you choose against your next bill. These schemes can reduce the pressure of needing to find the total cost of the bill when it arrives. It is important that you keep your receipts for sums paid, as the bill may not show all the payments you made due to delays in processing or errors. Similarly, if you rent privately and you pay your rent directly into an account, your landlord may agree to let you deposit rent more frequently than by monthly payments. Contact companies to whom you pay money regularly to see whether they can offer this type of payment arrangement.
