Getting finances in order is always one of the top New Year resolutions. But, you need to have a plan if you want to save money. One part of that plan should be Truebill, a personal finance app that helps you save money on your monthly bills. Here are five ways that Truebill can help you get your finances back on track.
What Is Truebill and How Does It Work?
- Truebill first asks that you enter your monthly bills into the service. The service supports a wide range of monthly bills such as cable television, mobile phone, internet, and more.
- Truebill will analyze your expenses and how much you are paying for each of your bills.
- Once you add in all of your bills, Truebill will get to work trying to find ways you can save money. It’s easy.
Lower Your Bills Using TrueProtect
One of the first things Truebill does is price check your bills. It looks to find any eligible discounts or deals you can receive by changing your plan or adjusting your service. If this TrueProtect is enabled, Truebill will negotiate on your behalf and change your service plan to reduce your monthly cost.
Help Manage Your Subscriptions
Truebill can identify and manage your monthly subscriptions. It can help you organize your monthly dues and pay them on time so that you won’t pay any late fees.
Those who have tried to cancel an online service know how frustrating and time consuming the cancellation process can be. If you upgrade to Truebill premium, there’s even a concierge service that will cancel subscriptions on your behalf.
Get a Refund After an Outage
Lose your internet for a few days? Want to get credit for those days your service was down? Truebill has your back. The service will monitor for outages on your phone, cable service, or internet. If detected, Truebill will automatically request a credit on your behalf.
Get Money Back on Overdraft or Late Fees
If you forget to pay a bill or unexpectedly have an overdraft, Truebill can help. Truebill can send a letter to the bank to request a refund on the overdraft. It also can file an online request to reverse the charge for a late fee.
How to Sign Up for Truebill
You can sign up for Truebill online. You can use the basic service for free, though you will be charged a fee (40%) based on how much money you save with Truebill – for each $1 Truebill shaves off your bill, Truebill charges you just 40 cents. There’s also a premium tier that offers balance syncing tools, a smart savings plan, and more. The premium plans start at $3 per month but can increase depending on the tier you select.
