autopay stopped working and cannot resetup

Enthusiast - Level 1

Been a customer for 20+ years and 4 month ago my autopay stopped working.  I've not been able to set it back up, it gives a message "you are unable to manage autopay due to previous payment history and restricted payment options."

I've called and chatted 3 times, have tried the operators suggestion to delete and readd my payment options, but it has not worked, have tried both credit card and bank account.  Today I was on the phone and the operator acknowledged seeing the problem, worked on it for 1 hour then had to pass it to finance dept rep, who told me they are not able to access the data and could not help.

Is there anyone at Verizon that can actually figure this out?

 

thanks

This could be a rumor, but have heard it takes at least 6 months to get whatever block that is cleared if your account is restricted.

I’ve been having this issue since switching over for the first time to Verizon. Please help! It keeps prompting to connect auto pay when I already walked through the  steps and accepted the auto pay terms…

I have the same issue. Automatic payments haven’t been working for at least the entire calendar year. Not sure when they stopped working but it’s been a huge issue. Scheduled automatic payment for this last Monday. Stupidly assumed maybe this time it worked since I had scheduled it myself. Wrong. Service had shut off with no notification until I got to WiFi and was able to push the button to pay using the only card that’s on file to be used for automatic payment.

Hello, Jmass14. Help is here. I do want to ensure we are on the same page. Are you referencing auto payments for monthly payments on the bill OR are you stating you set up an auto payment for one-time payment? Are there any restrictions on the account such as cash only? Please let us know.

I have the same issue and it’s been very frustrating. Despite being enrolled in Auto Pay, I have been consistently overcharged.

I have spent hours on the phone with reps, who confirmed that the error was on Verizon’s end. I was assured that the overcharges would be applied as a credit to my account and that the issue had been resolved. It’s been 2 months now and the issue is still unresolved. I am considering switching carriers as well.

Oh, no! Dealing with account issues can be frustrating, especially when it comes to your charges. Verizon is here to help.

 

We want to be on the same page of the book. Please elaborate, what billing errors/charges are you noticing?
