Put a change of address notice thru your post office. that will buy you some time. Then you just notify the state and your bill collectors either by phone or online . you will be set to go. shouldn't cost a dime.

With the change of address notice, they will forward your mail for 1 year IIRC. No need to check the old box

Why aren't you going paperless on your credit card bills anyway?

Yup ^^^^^ Make sure you have the address forwarded through USPS. They do a good job of gettin' stuff to your new address.

On most bill statements there is usually a form to change address.

Nice thing about the change of address is that the junk mail won't get forwarded, so you will be junk mail free for a little while (3rd class mail doesn't get forwarded).

Having a paper copy is how you catch them screwing up. I caught my bank shuffling checks because I printed a copy online and compared it to what they sent. Which is why I fired them after almost 30yrs. Haven't caught a credit card company yet, but I darn sure look now.

Online change cost money. I don't think it cost anything if done in person. If done in person at your local PO changes happen quicker than doing it online.

My bank statements are the exact duplicate of what they send in the mail. Credit cards are the same way.
