Cancelling public mobile account

[LMcElrea]

Hello, I have just switched my phone number over to Rogers from Public Mobile. I was on an auto-payment plan with public mobile and would like to make sure my account is canceled so I do not get charged next month. However, I can no longer log in to my public mobile account to cancel it. Does this mean my account has been deactivated? Do I still need to cancel my auto-pay? If so, How do I do this if I cannot log in to my account? I tried changing passwords and everything...that is not it. Thank you 🙂

Thank you for your response.

Ideally The credit card shouldnt be charged for your autopay as your account will be closed as soon as you port your PM number to other provider. check your CC for any charges by Koodo or PM at next renewal date. If there is any charges, create a ticket with support to get this credit back.

If you have an app or log into your online account for your credit card ie. pc financial or Canadian Tire financial services you can put your card on hold.

But, people did report being charged even after porting out.

You should ask this question before you renegaded and answer would be - remove your credit card from PM and cancel autopay.

Now you have to leave at least a month in fear of PM charging you 'by accident'...

And that they still have your credit card information for months and months...until you receive a new card.

 @hTideGnow : Of course there are all the different institutions issuing cards but it was a reply to the question of how hard it might be. Indeed...YMMV.

@Anonymous   thanks for the screenshot.  So, it is done via locking the card and not rejecting particular transaction request.  So, expect no transaction going through that day, have to hope no other reoccurring one on the same day.

Also , just checked my own credit card, non RBC, I don't see such option., so i think it's YMMV or you have to call the card centre for a temporary lock. for a day or two

Good question, I would like to to know too 

hopefully it’s successful but also you can call your bank to block PM charge you just make sure:)

@Lehaha   I think blocking the transaction on the credit card level is hard.  From what I know PM payment does not consider as a reoccurring payment on the CC side (probably because it runs every 30 days and not monthly), so I dont think you can ask CC to block it

But.. it is rare that Autopay will keep charging after account closed.  It did happen, but very rarely.  So, relax and should be good

@LMcElrea   Once number is ported, your PM account will be closed.   Account is closed PM won't charge you anymore.  You can try to access to My Account and you shouldn't be able to login.

From time to time, we saw people with issues that Autopay didn't stop.  But this is rare.   Since you cannot login to My Account, there is nothing you can check.  Please monitor your credit card payment for the coming  month.  If there is any dispute, message PM and they will fix it and refund.

If you can't log into your account then that is a good indication that it has been closed.  You could keep an eye on your credit card statement to make there are no additional charges.

If your porting to Rogers is completed, your account at PM has been deactivated. Nothing else needs to be done on your end.

Edit: However keep an eye on your credit card statements for a couple months just in case there are still errant charges from PM. If it happens, contact PM or your bank for assistance.
