Why does quick books automatically assume and FORCE me to pay a bill on line???? I do NOT want to operate this way. WTF do they think they are doing ? Work Around ?

I wish I could make it better, @brian.ambrose.

With the new third-party bill payment service, it changes the look of the payment method selection when paying your bills. In the meantime, you can click the Mark as paid button beside schedule an ONLINE bill pay to pay your bills.

Lastly, here's an article you can read for ideas about other methods you can use to pay your bills: Enter and pay bills.

If you have any other questions, please let me know in the comments. I'll be here to lend a hand.
