Cannot pay my bill

After several failed attempts to pay over the phone, due to the automated person failing to “hear” my card number completely, I was then told that I’m no longer able to pay by phone. Well, because I’m a secondary user on the account, I’m blocked from paying online. So, I’m basically being prevented to pay my cable bill because of the security lock. Please undo this. I’ve already lost my internet service because I wasn’t able to pay today. I’m so mad!

Hey there user_59n2v5, and thanks for stopping by our community for help! We never want you to be without a way to pay your bill, but you are correct in that as a secondary user, your account permissions are limited. If unable to access the account online, you do always have the option to pay via a payment kiosk at one of our Xfinity retail locations. Are you able to work with the account holder to have them sign into their primary profile on the account?

@XfinitySeth​ The primary user is my mom, and she doesn’t remember any of her login information. Will this security lock be lifted tomorrow so I can call and pay over the phone?

Depending on what triggered the payment block for you, I can't say for certain if it would be lifted by tomorrow, but I would lean towards no. If the primary account holder is having trouble accessing their own account online, I'd recommend working with them to reset their password via xfinity.com/password. More information on getting access back into your Xfinity account online can be found at xfinity.com/support/articles/changing-or-resetting-your-password 👍

Alternatively, the Primary user or any user with a Manager profile can also speak with our billing teams over the phone to make a payment that way by calling (800) 934-6489.
