can i pay someone else's bills with my checks?

Question

will the phone company take my check for the other person's bill or do they require the person whos name is on the account to pay?

Answer 1

Sure, I'll send you my bills. Seriously -- money is money. They'll accept it... heck, even if it isn't written to them, they'll still cash it. I used to work customer service in the billing dept. of a major cell phone company, and once in a while we'd get calls from people who accidently paid us with their mortgage check. By the time it got resolved, they were steamed because they couldn't pay their mortgage.

Answer 2

Yes, just make sure that you put that persons account number on the check and include the bill stub with the check.

Answer 3

They will take anyone's check, just send in the payment slip with the check, AND write the account number you want to pay off on the check.

Answer 4

Sure. The bill collectors don't care WHO pays it, as long as it gets paid.

Answer 5

they don't care as long as the bill is payed in full just make a note of the account # of the bill your paying is on the cheque

Answer 6

I have paid my bills using my father's checks. Just in the for/memo put their account number and name.

Answer 7

They will take your check. I have never seen a company say NO to a check!

Answer 8

The company doesn't care where the money comes from . . . as long as it comes! Send in the payment stub with ANYBODY'S good check and they'll be quite happy.

Answer 9

Yup. They'll take your money just as easy as anyone elses. Just make sure you write their account number on your check.

Answer 10

They will be happy to take your money. As long as the check is good, they don't care whose name is on it.
