autopay problem

xdragon — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 08:18:25 GMT

Hi:

I'd been using auto pay for my public mobile phone for several years and never had problem. I always keep my credit card information up to date, updating the card information whenever I'd activated the replacement card. Today when I tried to use my phone got a message stating that my account was suspended. Checking my account it shows that I didn't pay my fee. So I just manually issue a payment using the same credit card information stored in my account and that payment was accepted, which means the credit card information stored in my account hasn't expired. I then checked my auto pay information and it's showing that autopay is active. So why did my account suddenly got suspended? Autopay is active, and credit card hasn't expired, so I can't think of any other reason why the payment didn't go through. Any help is appreciated.

@xdragon : What is your plan? What is in your Available Funds? Is the account showing as active? What is the pay before date up top?

@xdragon ,

This is likely nothing from your end, Autopay with Public Mobile sometimes fails unfortunately.

It is good that you know how to top up your plan manually and get your services working again.

Any time an Autopay failure happens I would suggest to contact CSA and let them hear it...I mean know about this. Also, ensure you are awarded any rewards that may have not been given to you.

Thank you all for your suggestions/help. I think comment from @esjliv is most likely cause of my problem. I'll contact CSA as suggested, so they could take a look at it to see what could had caused the problem.

Contacting the CSAs is best.

In the meantime, just keep AutoPay "enabled" with your existing credit card info but also deposit funds (payment vouchers) before payment is due. It'll ensure you get uninterrupted service, you don't miss out on any Rewards issued on days your account is "suspended/expired", and you continue collecting the $2 AutoPay Reward (plus the AutoPay bonus data). You could continue doing this indefinitely, every month or a few months at a time (because less hassle), even if your AutoPay automation (on PM's side of your account) is broken.

You could also ask the CSAs to credit you for the $2 AutoPay Reward you didn't get this cycle, if it matters.

The good news is that broken AutoPay only affects "few" customers. "Most" customers never experience any problems with AutoPay.

The bad news is that the "few" customers who are affected often suffer from (complain about) broken AutoPay over and over again at seemingly random intervals. So if it happens to you once then you might want to assume it'll happen to you again, unless Public Mobile can give you absolutely confident assurances that it's been properly fixed and won't ever happen again.
