Correct, unless you initiate the payment within Money. If so, the incoming
bill payment matches the description you created. Otherwise, you have no
control. If you initiate the payment on BofA's web site, that is the case.
That may apply if your link to BofA is through Yodlee. I don't know if you
even can initiate a bill payment through Yodlee. I have no experience with
it.

Chris - I think I understand. The issue is, perhaps, that Bank of
America sets the payee name - in this case DIRECTV (1) - and because I
am receiving e-bills from that payee, I am stuck with whatever name B
of A chooses to use?

It was a downloaded online payee, correct? They cannot be edited. If you
initiated the payment in Money, or matched it on download to an existing
transaction, it would remember that in the future. You still could not edit
or merge it, but it should already reflect the desciption you wanted.

If this is the only instance of that payee, consider deleting it, then
recreating the payment register entry? Do a backup first. Then be sure you
match subsequent downloaded transactions to the payee you created. If you
have an outstanding APay, do not delete the payee without first cancelling
the scheduled payments.

Default Downloaded Payee Names Editing

In Money 2006 the payee field of a downloaded transaction is "grayed
out" and cannot be edited - DIRECTV (1) for example. When I try to
use the Payee Rules Manager to change the name to Direct TV, I receive
an error stating that "DIRECV (1) is already being used as a payee or
payee name variation. Please enter a different name." This seems
counter-intuitive to me. Surely, I should be able to enter the
preferred name and then list the unwanted variants I wish to have
replaced with the preferred name.
