I've been paying my Nissan Finance auto loan with autopay from a checking acc't thru the Finance Portal. Anyhoo they normally take the money on the 26th of the month. I noticed today that the payment hasn't been taken. Went to the finance site and found that it had been redone. I had to re-register, call Nissan to get my loan id, and set the up the payment again. They claim they informed users of this change but I never got anything informing me about restarting the payments.

Another example of why you should never use direct withdrawal to pay your bills, or at least keep it to an absolute minimum.
I do not have any Companies, utilities, or banks taking money out of my account on a direct withdrawal program.
Think about this: when you do that, it gives the institution unlimited access to your account, and in theory, they can withdraw as much as they want, whenever they want, carte blanche. They are in control.
Most of the time, they are honest and reliable, but if you have a problem, or they take too much, just try and stop it.
Then try getting your overpayment back. It's a major headache and hassle. Direct withdrawal is a one way street, all to their advantage.
I pay my bills via on-line banking, but no way will I sign up for automatic withdrawal.

^Agreed.
And to think, Comcast has the balls to suggest you set up direct withdrawl with them. They f*** up their bills somewhere around 160% of the time... and its never in your favor.

HOLY CRAP this could not be more accurate.

That being said, my Nissan and Infiniti stuff got nuked completely but my autodraft for the Rogue is still pending in my bank account. My Infiniti isn't on auto payments, but the thing that REALLY sucks is that I went paperless with that... so I don't have my IFS account number to re-register my account. If I have to call a 1-800 number to get it... I'm going to be a pain in the a** for them.

I do software crap for a living, and they could have easily migrated all of that information into the new system with a bit more effort. Sounds like they were totally ok with pawning all that off on their customers and creating an entirely different kind of s***-show.
