Auto-payment failed - Part 3

HDG

The auto payment did not go thru yesterday(April 12th). As a result the account has been suspended. We checked with our bank and they did not stop any payments on the Credit card. We tried the few suggestions from the Community, so we tried to do a manual payment (tried $1 and also tried due amount). It failed stating (enable to process this transaction...unable to verify your credit card information,...). We then tried to update (replace) the CC on file. This failed also with the same error message. Then we tried to open a ticket. But for this, you need to login to your community account. That login failed. This is interesting as I am able to login to the community as I am able to create this post. Obviously they are using a slightly different authentication scheme using the same credential when creating a ticket. So, at this point it looks like we are toast! Does anybody have a suggestion on how to notify Public Mobile about this problem? Otherwise, I think it may be time to move on to another provider.......

Thank you for your tip. Following your suggestion I was finally able to get the auto payment problem resolved. For whatever reason the card had been blocked. Thanks again for your help.

I hope they can actually fix this autopay issue Jesus lol

HI @Meow  Don't shot the messenger  🙂  Pretty sure they did.  Just PM no fixing it.

Agree 100% that Autopay is buggy.  Many talked about the issue but somehow it is the same

 


This is really weak point at PM. So many people complain about autopay and threaten to leave PM.

 

Why Oracles cannot bring this issue with PM so they really take a look at this process and avoid further embarrassment?

As to the overcharged, since you opened the ticket for a refund, I guess you can proceed with it.  But if this happen again in the future and you see the fund in Available Fund, you can just leave it there for next renewal, easier and you can also be certain no Autopay problem on the following month. LoL

If you see funds on your account due to double billing, I would suggest to leave it there as it will be used on next renewal and it might prevent autpay failure.

The community login is not the same as your account login, so be sure you are using the correct one.

 

I have the same problem today.  My wifes line failed autopay a few days ago.  My friends line failed autopay yesterday.  My other friends line failed autopay just over a week ago.   Some of these lines are over a year in service with Public, so it appears to be a new system issue and quite widespread.

 

To get your service working, go to manual pay, somewhere on the screen at bottom is manage payment card, get to the screen to remove or replace credit card.  Replace the credit card with a different one, or perhaps a visa debit card.  Then do a manual payment for one or two dollars more than needed to renew.  This has worked to reactivate service and the key is to change the payment card and do a manual payment.

 

note:  When I tried to do a manual payment with the existing card on file, it failed.  In my case it indicates that it might fail due to frequent attempts.  Other people had similar messages.  

 

I'd suggest to check your payment history a few days after making payment.  On my friends line, the system billed him a second time for the same month and automatically took payment.  We notified customer service but still waiting for the credit.   Autopay is awful in terms of reliability.

First of all, do NOT ask bank to do anything with any (incorrect) charge from PM if you ever get that. Your PM account will be in jeopardy. Always try to resolve issues with PM with the agent.

 

Ticketing sometimes does not work properly due to failed authentication even if you know you provided all info correctly.

It that case contact agent directly through personal mail.

Just be patient and wait for agents' assistance. They will resolve your issue.

@HDG   It is a  bit confusing but  opening ticket requires both Community account login and My Account login in the different steps of the ticket opening process.  But don't spend further time on that, just message PM Support directly using this link:

**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after the ticket is opened. CS Agent will reply you there

 

So, at the moment, your My Account's Available Fund is showing $0?
