Why is moving day still a chaos of forwarding addresses and forgotten utilities?
Movers manually update USPS, DMV, banks, electric, internet, insurance, and forget half until a bill bounces.
Who has it: Anyone who moves; especially renters who move every 1-2 years.
Evidence
People describe moving and later getting a collections notice from an old utility account that was never closed.

What they are missing
Most are bundled by the realtor and push affiliate utility deals. No neutral agent that scans your bank/email for every recurring billed service and updates each one (or closes it) end-to-end.
