Seems her new biller used software that did not display all of the fields in the caret-delimited text files ("iPlexus") that were sent as batched bills. It took just a few hours (and would have taken some on the list here far less time) to whip up a one-trick-pony application to pull the bills that contained data in those missing fields, format and display, and enable printing of the data.

Fortunately, the LC editor let me know immediately by indicating that the types on each side of the operand did not match (can't add a number to a variable holding a string!).

Luckily, here in Bulgaria, as well as in Britain, we never have to face 
medical bills as we have socialised medicine; very civilised.
