In the early 70’s I had a gas card I used for travel. They didn’t send me a bill for 6 months. By the time they got around to sending me one I’d taken a different job and was working overseas. I sent them 1/6 of the balance and explained that it they had sent me the bill monthly I would have paid it in full and not accrued interest. Therefore I was going to pay it back over 6 months and ignore the interest charge. At the end of six months they sent me a bill for the interest. I wrote paid in full in the bill and sent it back. After several months of this I got a statement with a zero balance.

I haven’t the heart to tell him it was sent by a machine. Hope he didn’t read this.
