Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Absolutely no pros to this company at all. Several years ago, they used to have good customer service. Now you can't even get to anyone. No one replies to inquiries.
  • Autopay works fine for me, but that's about all the "pro" I can think of.
  • I don’t have any pros. I’m using to pay my taxes but I’m not able to use autopay as I was able to it with the website used previously by my city.

Cons

  • No way to contact customer support. The phone system just leads to a dead end and disconnects (with a very unhelpful "Have a great day!" message before abruptly disconnecting).
  • I have to autofill my username and password and click log-in as fast as possible, and I actually get logged in after 5-8 log-in attempts. It takes multiple times of this lengthy log-in procedure to get anything done since my session times out after about 15-20 seconds of each log-in. Contacting my utility provider is of no use. They don't seem to be familiar with their own billing system.
  • My city switched last year to Invoice Cloud. I’ve configured autopay as I was used to with the old site. But it doesn’t work properly: for each bill, I’ve 2 withdrawals on my savings account. The issue is that Bank Of America transforms your savings account to a checking account if you’ve more than 3 withdrawals per billing period. Since I used my savings to other bills, these 2 withdrawals are really annoying. I got already 2 notifications from Bank Of America, so I disabled the autopay before my savings is transformed. The support is weak. I contacted them about my issue; they told me it was a bad configuration by the city. I contacted the city hall, which contacted them to get some support with the configuration. The support told the city hall it was not possible to avoid the problem. Strange, I never heard about a software that can not be corrected.
