Profile
Desperate Avoiders feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with bills. They find that their approach to financial management is not very organized, so they often forget when bills are due or dread opening them. Sometimes, they delay paying bills until they have enough money. And when they think of using technology to make life easier, they don't envision using it to manage their finances. That means they probably aren't banking or paying and receiving bills online.

Meet Jen
Jen is a textbook Desperate Avoider. If you had to sum up her Bill Pay Personality in just a few words, it would be, “Bills? What bills?”
Unfortunately, Jen often forgets her bills because she doesn’t even open them up. Her mind’s on other things. Jen’s the kind of gal who:
- Buys the newspaper just to get the sales flyers
- Dreams about owning a bright red convertible
- Won't attempt to balance her checkbook because the numbers never match what's in her bank statement
- Hates paying bills and conveniently misplaces them
