Paid off a bill I thought I would never clear - what worked for you?

I paid off a bill that had been weighing on me. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I called the lender and they worked with me. Wanted to share a good day.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
