Payment Due Notifications
ZachO17
Enthusiast - Level 2

I used to get an email notification that my payment was available to view, then I got a "payment due date approaching" email. I recently stopped getting these and have been a month late paying my last couple bills, because I don't get any notification until I'm a month overdue. I don't see any place to to opt in or turn on these notifications.

Why did they stop? How do I start them again?

Thanks!

The bill is due on the same date every month. How hard is it to forget?

You should get your account current before you are flagged as cash only.

Sign into your MyVerizon account online and verify your communication preferences.

Clearly pretty hard, since I've missed it twice in a row now. Smiley Happy  Up until a few months ago, I never had to remember. I always received a notification.

In fact I have no other payments which don't notify me of an upcoming due date. Just Verizon.

If remembering is the only way, then I will. But up until early this year, I always received a notification and therefore didn't need to remember. The issue is that they suddenly stopped, so the method I relied on (which worked flawlessly for years) went away without notice, and I only realized I was overdue when I had skipped a whole months payment.

Anyone with any insight into where the alerts went, and if I can turn them back on? If they are just plain "gone", then I'll come up with my own reminder. But like I said, the way it worked before, well...worked.

how about setting a recurring reminder in your phone's calendar?

I do appreciate the one piece of actual advice (calendar), so thanks for that. I am aware that there are endless ways for a person to remember something, and I will definitely employ one of them. All I wanted to know, from a person who actually knew something, was what happened to my notifications. They were there, then they were gone. There was a thing that was working for me. Before changing to something else, I just wanted to know if I could get that first thing working again.

I'll just stick to calling Verizon when I have issues.

ZachO17​, we definitely do not want to see you fall behind on your payments. Have you been able to check your Account Alerts to ensure the correct email is still in place?

These steps do not exist on he Verizon website at all.

There are no alert settings for payments due. 

The only message you send is verification of payment made, which is the most useless notification as I already know I just made a payment because I just did it.

Think how much extra money they get from people forgetting their payments and having to pay a late fee.
