<prompt> Human: I dont know if this is the right subreddit but as I owe this company a lot of money it it definitely related to my personal finances.As the title states a lawn service that does our yard has been doing our yard every two weeks since before last summer, so nearly a year. They started mowing our lawn right after we moved in and with everything that was happening last year I didnt realize they hadnt been billing me. All of my bills are paid automatically out of an account that has money auto deposited so besides checking invoices in the mail and corroborating them with my bank account I dont spend much time with bills. It just hit me today after they came from what must be the 20 time that and after some digging I realized Ive never paid them nor received an invoice. At this point I know I owe them over 1000 or so, but thats not something Id want to pay out outright. We could do it but itd hurt and Im hoping theres a better way to resolve this and make them whole.Im worried if I approach this the wrong they may think this was in bad faith or Ive been avoiding paying them. Obviously its their responsibility to make sure theyre billing people but I feel bad for not making it clear sooner. To my credit I did find an email I had forgotten about a month or two after they started asking for an invoice so I had made a minimal effort. I enjoy the guys who do the work, theyre all vets and theyre very good to us. Id like to continue the relationship with this company. If you were in this situation how you handle it? Im typically militant about our accounts and paying things off but with chaos of last year this just really slipped through the cracks. If this is the wrong subreddit and someone has a better idea of where to post, I apologize and would appreciate any suggestions on where would be better to post. Thanks!  <response>: Call them. Say hey I noticed I havent been charged for any of the work you guys have been doing. Can you let me know how much I owe? I dont think I have the funds currently to write a check to cover all of it as I just realized this has been happening. I love the work you all do, can we work out a payment plan over ___ time to catch me up so we are even? edit: if they havent been billing you and are still doing work, I doubt they will see it as bad faith if you contact them first.
