Cannot update billing

Hello I’ve recently had a roommate move out and transfer service to me, when I go to update billing I get the error “you can’t add a new payment method yet, we need to verify your contact information.” I’ve verified my phone number and email but still no luck. I’ve tried on PC, phone and app. Cleared cache, nothing has worked. Thanks.

user_wwdu0z This could be due to how your online profile is set up. Do you happen to know if you are signing in with the Primary User account details?

Yes because I logged in through my ex roommates login and changed the info to my own. The transfer was completed Friday, is there some delay in verifying my identity?

In order to complete a formal transfer of account ownership to someone else, it requires formal paperwork be filled out and sent back to us to authorize the change from the original account owner as well as the new owner taking over. Does that sound like the process you went through to take over the account?

Sorry for the late reply, yes that is what happened. I copied over my ID, we filled out paper work and both signed. Seems like this is just a glitch.
