: Not "in the due date". 'On time' means 'on or before your due date'. I agree with: "it is important to pay/that you pay your bills on time."

It is important that you pay your accounts on time.
"em dia" mean "up-to-date" :)

jack_speak
: I can't quite agree, Richard, only because in US English we don't say pay "accounts," we say pay "bills." I have an account with the electric company, and so I pay my monthly electric bill.

veratek
: as jack reminded us, it's bills // pls remember that if I agree, I don't put neutral, so if I disagree, I also don't put neutral - that's why there are 3 categories and not just neutral for everything! (nothing personal or overly critical btw!)
