Change In Scheduled Transactions?

I've had to edit some scheduled transactions to change payment due dates
because of changes in Wachovia's billpay setup. While doing so, I noticed
that the "remind me in advance" option changes to 6 days (and can't be
changed). Previously I'd set these at 0 since I'm on the system every day
and take care of entering these as needed, so I find this annoying.

I can edit other types of transactions without this happening .. it's only
the "online payment" transactions that are affected.

Has anyone else experienced this? Ideas?

I'm just guessing, but I guess this relates to the change you
mentioned in your previous post. Financial institutions are now
offering "delivery" dates instead of "payment" dates. If you
send your online billpay instruction zero days before delivery
date, there is no way the billpayor can deliver the payment on
time.

That had occurred to me .. just didn't know if the bank could make the
changes in my Quicken setup that way? Guess that's what happens when it's
doing the "updating financial institution" thing!

May I ask if you use Wachovia's billpay or Quicken billpay or do you
simply upload the payments from Quicken?
I have tried since November to upload payments. After many emails and
phone calls I was told that new customers could not upload payments from
Quicken. They must use the Wachovia billpay web site.
I have to wonder if I am the only one who has had this problem and how
many people are still able to use Quicken to upload payments to Wachovia
without using their web site or Quicken's billpay feature.
Thanks.

I'm uploading directly from Quicken (have been for some time). Just put in
Online payment and Send and it goes to Wachovia on my next connection. It
seems odd that it would not be allowed for new account holders while
allowing the rest of us to use it.
