I have auto pay and my account was suspended today saying insufficient funds but the bank said they paid. Why isn’t my plan working? I have had it for two years.

Yes, Autopay Failed, it happens from time to time

 

Try again as what @darlicious suggested.  If still fails, I think it is time to open ticket with PM Support:

As long as your card has a valid expiry date and your billing address has not changed and you have not tried to pay more than 5 times with the card on file then wait one hour since your last attempt.  Follow these steps:

 

  1. Clear your browser and use a different device if possible.
  2. Reboot your device.
  3. Open one tab only.
  4. Use secret/incognito mode.
  5. Chrome, Firefox, Safari or MS Edge work best.

Log in and go to the payment page. Choose other amount and enter your full plan cost +$1. Confirm and submit the payment. If you get the same message you may have triggered the fraud lock on your card. If you have another card use it for your second attempt at payment. If that fails then contact customer support to lift the fraud lock or look into what is causing the issue with the card. Be prepared to go purchase a voucher to add via 611.

Based on this info, is your credit card in order? Did it expired or temporary blocked by your bank due to potential fraud?

Did you try to pay with THAT credit card at any retail/grocery store?

@ashleycellphone 

 

Maybe try a public mobile payment voucher, or use recharge.com

 

Below is where you can get vouchers:

@ashleycellphone   When you manual pay, where you paying with the option "Amount Due" ?  Did you try to pick "Other" and manually enter the Plan Amount + $1 extra?  It might work.

 

You also said the bank said it was paid, maybe it was just a pending charge?  Did you confirm from My Account , Transaction Log?  if it was paid, you should see a line Automatic Top-Up/Réapprovisionnements auto. or Credit/Visa Debit TopUp-Réapprov crédit/Visa Débit  If you don't see such line, PM hasn't take money from you yet

@ashleycellphone  - so you must have no services then?

 

Website can be finicky. Can you try a totally different device?

 

OR, How about trying to make a manual payment by calling 611, since you have a credit card registered already.

@ashleycellphone 

 

If you've tried more than a couple times you may be on a temporary lock. 

 

Wait 50 minutes

Clear cache and cookies

Open incognito tab

Try again

@ashleycellphone  do you mean you have no services by the statement you made above?

 

If no service, than yes, a manual payment will be needed to reactivate the plan/account.

 

 

Expired/Suspended messages show up on your account the night before and the morning of your renewal. 

If all your services are working, and these are messages you are seeing on your Self Serve account, you can safely ignore them.

@ashleycellphone 

Don't try more than twice or you have to wait one hour to try again. Check your credit card...has it expired?

It won’t let me make a manual payment 

ashleycellphone
Good Citizen / Bon Citoyen

When I try and make a manual payment it says: sorry your credit card was declined by your card provider. 

@ashleycellphone 

You can check your transaction history to see if an automatic payment was made. It would appear after your rewards were credited to your account. If no payment was made then you must make a manual payment to cover the difference between your available funds and your plan amount. Follow @JK8 's instructions to choose other amount and then enter the payment, confirm and submit. Your plan should automatically reactivate.

 

Edit:

You do this on the payment page.

My account did not renew for some reason and just said suspended but I have auto pay which doesn’t make sense.

 

it says my account is suspended. It says plan expired but where do I reactivate it?

HALIMACS

@ashleycellphone

 

Did your plan just renew?

 

Can you check on your self serve to confirm whether the account is showing as active or otherwise?

 

It is showing as suspended, try making a manual payment equal to your plan amount, and tap reactivate.

Will I always have to do manual now? Will they refund the autopay?

Sometimes auto pay fails. Can you go into self service and make a manual payment. Choose other in the drop down menu and enter the amount of your plan.
