Auto-pay no longer working

Hi all,

 

I haven't had any issue with the Auto payment in the past, but this month the payment was not processed as it seems to be an issue with my credit card. 

 

Tried even doing a one time payment with this same cars, but it won't work neither.

 

Did someone have this same issue?

 

Thank you!

The payment could not being going thru for any of the reasons already mentioned even a minor change in your billing by the bank. Pull out your latest billing statement to see if there are any changes compared to the month before....you can also compare it to your official canada post address. Here's my advice for issues like yours.....

 

 

Follow this method when making a manual payment/adding a card to the account....only use the emboldened portion of the instructions if the payment card is already on file.

 

  1. Reboot your device.
  2. Clear your browser, use secret/incognito mode in firefox, chrome or safari.
  3. Choose replace card rather than remove card.
  4. Copy your address from your billing statement.
  5. Add your apt/unit/suite # to the street address. ie. 101-123 1ST AVE W, CITY, PROV.
  6. Do not put a space in the postal code. X0X0X0 not X0X 0X0.
  7. USE ALL CAPS if necessary.
  8. Do not use autofill. Type everything manually.

Once you successfully update your card do not attempt your payment immediately. Log out/in then go to make a payment to pay for your renewal. Otherwise if you were not suspended I would recommend a $1 test payment. Follow my further instructions for a successful payment to unsuspend your account.

 

Do not try more than two attempts at adding a card or payments ( successful or not) or you will continue to get this message. Wait at least 1 hour to try a third time another hour for your 5th try....and so on....and do not make more than 4 unsuccessful tries with the same card in a 24 hour period or you will trigger a fraud alert lock out requiring assistance from the moderators.

 

 

Go to make a payment. Choose the "other amount" option and add $1 more than the amount owing and submit the payment. If that is successful go back to your overview page and if it does not say active  click on the reactivate button. If that works log out and reboot. If that does not work and your payment is in your balance rather than showing $1 then go to the usage or plans page. Click on lost/stolen and suspend your service. Log out/in. Resume your service. Your balance should now be $1. Log out and reboot.

@ddsfzz   Have you tried dialing 611 to make your payment with registered CC (you'll need your 4 digit PIN). 

 

Otherwise you might need to purchase a voucher available at retailers, gas and convenience stores to make the payment as that only requires the voucher PIN to be loaded as funds.  Then you have time to sort out what the issue is with your autopay/CC failure.

@ddsfzz: Is the card valid? Not expired? Did you move? Try doing a manual payment of the full cost of your plan with a valid registered card.
