4. I have AT&T for my cell service.

AT&T has been putting pressure on me to stop using paper statements and to allow it to withdraw money from my checking.

I've refused.

In a passive-aggressive response, AT&T is mailing my bill late. (I'm in NJ and the billing's in IL.) And I receive it four days before the due date.

We all know the Post Office is currently sluggish in its deliveries. Therefore, even if I mail the payment the very next day, I'll get a late fee and interest charges.

I'm on top of it.

I have the mailing address of the billing. I get my billing online and I know the amount due. I simply mail a check to AT&T by the 5th of every month, knowing it has 10 days to the due date and I will avoid arguing with a customer service rep for the late fee, etc.
