Meaning?

Hi,

What is the meaning of "thirty - or sixty -day billings " and" call it even" in the following text?

"My life insurance," he said suddenly."Have we still got it?"

"Yeah" said Gordon , but his voice was doubtful. "There is a small problem with the thirty -or sixty -day billings."

Schlichtmann looked at Gordon in consternation ."Gordon if you let my life insurance lapse ,I'll die for sure."

"Are you worth more dead than alive?" wondered Gordon.

Phillips sat in a gloomy silence apart from the others, his head wreathed in a loud of cigarette smoke. "If tomorrow is a bad day, we we'll shoot you and call it even." Phillips didn't smile at his own joke.

Please note that Gordon is the financial manager of Schlichtmann and tomorrow they are going to negotiate a settlement dispute.

Thanks

There are billing cycles when bills must be paid. A thirty- and sixty-day billings refer to 30 day billing and 60 day billing day cycles. Gordon seems to suggest that the life insurance has an issue with the recent billing.

  • Perhaps if the insurance is not paid within 60 or 90 days, the insurance becomes invalid (or useless/worthless).
  • I would need more context to know for sure.
