Service cut off despite being on AutoPay

TracyLoV

I signed up for PM March 12th.  Paid for the month at my local WalMart.  I signed up for AutoPay.  It was to come out on the 12th.  Instead, my service was cut off.  I called *611 and despite paying for the 1st month of service, it said I owe $21.  I paid it anyway just to get my service back.  When I tried to reactivate my service, it said I owe another monthly payment (which I’m assuming is for this months since it didn’t AutoPay out of my account yet).  I have a brain injury and am alone all day.  My cell phone is my lifeline if I need help.  I need my phone service reinstated ASAP! Please help.

@Slward1990  Thanks for the info! I will try and find where the option of AutoPay is and change if necessary.

I had the same thing happen the first month when I set up at Walmart, when I came and created my online account I realized right away they did not click the auto pay ever since setting it up my self I have had no issues and payments come out on date I payed etc

@TracyLoV  at this point I think its best to message mods and have them look into it.   there have been some issues lately with autopay. 

 

I asked for screenshot of the payment history as it would actually help us see the transactions recorded by the system.  Everyone on the community except those with a mod or pm tag are customers like you.

@mimmo The customer service rep at Wal Mart said she signed me up for AutoPay.  I received the credit for it.  On my account payment screen it says I’m on dynamic AutoPay? What is that? If it’s a 30 day cycle, that’s okay as I always have money in the account for it.  That’s why I’m not sure of a few things: 1. I paid the monthly fee, for what I’m assuming was the start of a 30 day cycle on the 12th of March when I was at Wal Mart.  2. I received an automated text message this past week reminding me that the money would be w/d from my acct. 3. When my service was d/c the *611 recording said I owed another $21 which I paid yesterday (not sure where that amount came from because my plan is $28.25 all in) 3. Now the account info says I owe another $25 (plus tax) = $28.25.  Why would my service be cut off and why am I being charged an extraneous charge of $21? Thanks for your help!

@TracyLoV: There is a known issue with AutoPay with some of the accounts after the maintenance that was performed on April 7.

@TracyLoV  Public Mobile Plans are on 30 day terms not 1 month, so renewal date can change from month to month. 

 

Are you sure autopay is active?  are you able to post a screenshot of your payment history?
