Thanks for posting this question here kgrin. I'm one of the co-founders of BillMonk, and like you, am disappointed to see that the service is down without any warning or follow up information. I haven't been at Obopay since late 2007, so don't have much knowledge about how BillMonk is being handled today. However I reached out the company and will be speaking with them this week. I can't promise that there will be an…

I was trying to download my data from billmonk last week and it didn't work. I tried to download all the data(accounts, libraries.. etc.) but none worked. I was getting redirected to a 'Oops! you found a bug.' I reported the bug too. Is it possible to fix this so that people can download their data?

They got bought by obopay.com in 2007, so you could try contacting Billmonk through them. Both their blog and twitter (@BillmonkFriends) are long dead.

Obopay's contact info: Obopay, Inc. 350 Marine Parkway, Suite 100 Redwood City, CA 94065 Main Office - 650-264-2000 General inquiries: info@obopay.com Support: If you can't find the information you need, please contact us by calling our customer support hotline at 888-8-OBOPAY (888-862-6729) or 650-264-2100.

I called the 650 number and spoke to customer support at Obopay. The lady told me that they are actively working on getting Billmonk up and running and that it should be up today (Monday Sept. 13th). I also recommended she let the concerned folks @ Obopay (no pun intended) know that there are rumours out on the internet that billmonk is down for good and that a lot of people, who maintain their accounts and have money owed to them, are getting antsy. Hopefully there will be official word from the guys @ Obopay very soon. HTH.

I just received word...

"We just received the latest word that BillMonk is targeted to be back up and operational by Monday (9/20/2010) afternoon. We have done some upgrades and modifications to the software that will make it better than before."
