Findings means what has been found and it is used here as a noun. Seeking is part of the verb seek and is the present participle/gerund.

Difference between 'remember to pay' and 'remember paying' #4 (permalink) Wed Jun 15, 2005 17:57 pm   Difference between 'remember to pay' and 'remember paying'
 

Probing is the gerund form of the verb to probe which means to investigate or to examine.

As for your sentence, the correct version is:

You must remember to the bill.

This means you haven't paid the bill yet so you shouldn't forget to do it.

I remember paying the bill.

This means I have paid the bill already and I still remember that I did it.
