As paying for things gets more and more automated with aps like Venmo and bill pay thru your bank or credit union, we’re much less likely to scan over our monthly bills than we used to.  But this should convince you to pay more attention:  According to a recent survey, two out of three people were overcharged on at least one bill in the last year.

And over 90% of the time, if the customer didn’t catch it, it didn’t get resolved., And on average, it took two months for the mistake to be resolved and an average of 8 hours on the phone to do it.

So, if you can remember to find a few minutes to glance over your bills every month, it could save you hours of time and hundreds of dollars in the long run!
