This doesn&#8217;t bother me, but Green Tree&#8217;s refusal to process an on-demand online payment without a $12 fee has me frustrated enough that I&#8217;m looking at refinancing. It&#8217;s possible to pay without a fee by sending in a check + payment coupon or setting up automatic withdrawals, but I don&#8217;t want to do this. For larger payments I do not like having them automatically withdrawn, just in case needs vary and I have to miss a payment or want to make one early.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;ll just have to stick to those 1990s (and earlier) standbys: paper checks.
