Pay/ing it forward . - term used when one receives a positive experience or gains worthwhile knowledge/information and passes it on to others to gain as well. :)
Figured that's what it meant, however couldn't fathom how it would make sense in this context.

 It seems the Misrad Hapnim hasnt been calling applicants even through Israeli shortcut in the last few days.


Here is the email Israeli shortcut sent out to everyone that hasnt received calls,


 Hi,



 We wanted to let you that Israeli Shortcut has spoken with the manager of
 Misrad Hapnim customer services Mrs. Penina, and we have come to an
 agreement. That in the situation that you have attempted to make an
 appointment through the Misrad Hapnim (even in the event where Israeli
 Shortcut has acted for you to make an appointment), and the Misrad Hapnim
 has not gotten in touch with them. If you have an email (2 would be better)
 which can prove that you have attempted to make an appointment, you may
 send an email to Mrs. Penina (even in English) mentioning your problem,
 with your private information (with the dates of Misrad Hapnim's email),
 and a number she can reach you on, (you may mention that Zev from Kitzur
 Derech B'Israel forwarded you her email).

 We came to an agreement that, in the event that you sent her an email, and
 after investigating the case Mrs. Penina sees there is a problem on the
 Misrad Hapnim's behalf, she promises to act accordingly and arrange for a
 breakthrough solution in the Misrad Hapnim to solve the problem for all
 foreign citizens.

 Her e-mail is:  info@piba.gov.il (For Mrs. Penina).

 In the event that the Misrad Hapnim arranged an appointment, don't forget
 to send us an email notifying us that you got an appointment.

 P.S.

 We ask of you, please before contacting Mrs. Penina please check thoroughly
 and make sure that the Misrad Hapnim did not contact you at all.

 Let us hold hands, and together we'll win the fight.

 Thank You for working with us.

 Was in Misrad Hapnim this morning to get a visa for myself/wife/child, entire ordeal took under 10 minutes!
 Got the visas on the spot.

Yes. Call them up . if it doesn't work on the phone , (not lechatchila) just leave without canceling it. They'll either eventually catch on to you not being in israel anymore and drop you or you will lose it automatically when your visa expires.

I would do that and just let it go till my visa expires and it will cancel automatically, my issue is that till then I will get billed every month for it, can I just leave it will a bill or they can make me in the future issues? Or once it's cancelled there is no bill?

I moved into my apartment around 3 years ago. Person who was there before me still receives a bill every few months that he owes $$ to Bituach Leumi- it was about 1,000 shekel but has gone up to about 1,600 (I am assuming interest expense)

Nah. It'll be fine. First try the לכתחילה דרך and if they don't let you then just leave. U won't have any issues. If ur thinking that one day u will be back then deal with it then. They'll see that you officially left if it comes down to that. I wouldn't worry about it. (I have a very good relationship with BL. They don't take American credit card for Horaat keva from me and as a result I only lay them once a year when they are about to kick me off. I even get the ribis off because of my claim that they would get the money quaterly if they would just do Horaat keva on my cc. BH , works out every time. Just annoying going to town to rake care of it. But it's worth it.)

Hey. If you have a balance with them then you should pay it. It's owed to them. going down there won't be a full day. Go 12ish and you should be fine. that's when I go when I have to. If I go @12 it's around a 20 minute wait , but earlier is usually ATLEAST a half hour. going at 12 should get you in and out in an hour IME.

Data point: just got the letter in the mail yesterday that my request for a hanacha on arnona for 2015 has been approved, B"H. So if you're still waiting for an answer from them for last year, keep an eye on your mailbox.

Anybody looking to use Dagan for Bituach Leumi anytime soon? Apparently he is much cheaper if you go with someone else.
