- I've returned that junk for years and they somehow manage to find my
- payments (it is in their own interest to do so, I guess!). But if you
- fear this problem, why not fold the check around all the junk (but not on
- the bill itself, if it bears the address that must appear though a
- window in the envelope) with the printed/written information on the
- outside? Should be pretty obvious to even the most boneheaded...
