Why would you trust email? I have a few service providers who refuse to send a paper bill. I have nearly perfect credit because I always pay everything off on time, for literally decades. I have missed 2 or 3 email bills in the past year because they didn't get to me. While it's certainly possible for regular mail to go missing, my experience is that it happens orders of magnitude less frequently than losing emails. I now have to set up my own reminders to pay the companies that refuse to send me a paper bill because it's too risky to rely on them actually getting the bill to me electronically. (And I'm not giving anyone permission to withdraw money directly from my account.)
