I sent them payment for a bill back on 8/7 and there is no sign of it being paid. I emailed them a couple of days ago and no response.
Are there any other billpay services that are US based or will at least make US payments? It looks like Bylls is doing well but they will not make payments in the US.
8/7 was just a few days ago, do you mean 7/7?
If you really just paid them a few days ago, you might want to contact GoCoin to see if they can get your money back. From my contact with GoCoin on 8/4 they said they had "... ceased their normal merchant payouts ..." I'd be surprised if they're even allowing payments to go through, but if they are it would seem that GoCoin should still have the money.
Except for what sounded like a copy/pasted form letter email on 7/28 (probably prompted by the reddit posting), I haven't been able to get any other response from BillPayForCoins. This is what they sent on 7/28:
We are attempting to recover from some technical and banking issues that we have experienced.
We are processing payments and refunds as quickly as we can.
Rest assured - your funds are safe - we were not hacked, nor have we lost BTC or USD.

But so far what they say and what they do have been two different things. Realistically, I think the chance of getting my money back is somewhere close to 0%
