We can help, @user_wgw6q3! What is the error message or code you're receiving when trying to make a payment using the Xfinity app and online? A few troubleshooting steps I'd recommend are uninstalling and reinstalling the Xfinity app, clearing cache and cookies and trying once more online, and also trying from another device. 

Other ways to pay include:

 - Say “Pay my bill” into your Xfinity Voice Remote to open your account and pay on Xfinity X1.

 - Call us at 800-Xfinity and select prompt #2 for billing and payments, and follow the prompts to pay using an American Express, Discover, Mastercard or Visa credit or debit card or an ACH transfer from a valid savings or checking account with a U.S. bank.

 - Mail us a check drawn on a valid U.S. bank account or a cashier’s check issued by a valid U.S. bank. Please use the insert included in your Xfinity bill. Never mail cash.

 - Visit an Xfinity Retail Store to pay using one of our Xfinity Self-Service Kiosks, which accept the payment methods listed above, plus cash and traveler’s checks. To find your closest store, including hours of operation, visit our Find an Xfinity Retail Store locator.

 - Visit a Western Union Quick Collect location to pay by money order.

I’m also having problem. Comcast was set up on my BofA for payment (which I set up) and the entire entry was removed. When I tried to reenter, BofA won’t allow it. Freezes up. So, then I called Comcast and tried to pay over phone and my pmt was rejected! Then Comcast referred me to their “ supposed” server who wanted my routing number and account number! HELL NO!  Something crazy is going on!

I have the same problem. Every time I click on pay bill, I get "You don't have permission to access "http://payments.xfinity.com/" on this server." Comcast's website is the worst site I have ever used. I had better page loading times in 1994 on AOL with a dial up modem.

Hello, @face98 thank you for taking time to reach out over Xfinity Forums, hopefully some tips from above can help resolve issue for making a payment. If you haven't attempted to clear the cache/history on the device recently that helps, or trying in an incognito window. 

 

- Have you attempted to access the site on a different browser or device? 

 

- Have you attempted to make a payment through the Xfinity App?  (I made a payment to my account through the App around 3 hours ago)

Same. For a company that makes so much money, you'd think they'd allocate resources to fix this issue. Now, I'm getting a message that says "past due." Glad I cancelled, biggest ripoff of a company.

It's just a total cringe! I've been using your internet for over two years now and the quality of the internet itself is satisfactory, I don't download large files btw BUT YOUR WEBSITE IS SO BAD, for all two years there hasn't been a single time that your website has worked properly, please don't tell me to clear the cache or refresh the page, you just need to fix your website.

Same issue. Can’t pay bill online.  Happens over and over again.  Weakest app and weakest internet site of any company I’m aware of.

I am tech by trade and I can safely say likely your backend permissions are somehow messed up this is not an issue customers can fix.

Check for SQL or perm table failure
Check for outage on encrypted access gateway
Inform users of clear outage.

Hello @Zer0Necrosis, I pay the bills and manage the finances in my home, so I can only imagine how annoying it would be to run into an issue like this. I'd like to first make sure we understand the full scope of your payment issue and work towards a fix from there. Are you using the Xfinity website or app to attempt your payment? Also, have you run any troubleshooting steps on your end, and if so, which ones?

I honestly hate Xfinity. I tried 10 plus times to put my card in and it wouldn’t work accepted one Apple Pay payment. When I tried to make another payment for the amount there is apparently a limit to how many times you can attempt to pay. Like what the flip man don’t you want this freaking money?

Hey there, @user_2q5jv7 thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding your issues with the website and app. We would be happy to help you with troubleshooting! I know I love using the app to manage my account as it is so easy and convenient. What device are you having issues with or are you having issues on multiple devices?

Worthless Help Trying to update auto pay online.  Keep getting error message. "Missing or invalid entries. Please review your information and try again." Been trying for weeks. Tried to update info using desktop and my laptop. Cleared cookies and cache. Tried downloading the app and paying there. Waste of time. Sent check a month ago and they cancelled my service the same day they processed the  check I sent a month ago. I have another check in the mail from 10 days ago. Hopefully Xfinity will get around to processing that in the next couple of weeks so I can get my service back before the next bill comes and it takes them another month before they cash that check. Will not let me remove old credit card because it is tied to automatic payments and can't update it. Xfinity has this other option on their site called Quickpay. It doesn't work either. Also have an option to take payment from bank account and that option doesn't work either.

@user_flw73l This isn't the experience we want any customer to have. Have you tried using the Xfinity app? If you still have issues with that, then I would recommend to call in at 1-800-934-6489. That way a representative can help you with updating your payment information.

I already said I tried the app. Worthless advice. Went all the way through the automated process to update my credit card and it didn't work. Told me to call back during business hours. My wife has called before and was told they can't update credit card information over the phone. Customer tries to pay. Business can't figure out a way to get paid so business cancels customers service. What a business model.

"Putting the Customer at the Center of Everything We Do

We are committed to respecting our customers’ time, simplifying their experience, and making things right if we fall short."   It isn't working.   Account says I am a Diamond Club member. Where does that get me.

7 days later xfinity still has not fixed the problem. Sent me email that payment is overdue and that they gave me extra time to set up payment plan..  This isn't what happened. They have the problem on their end they can't accept payment. I just tried again. Already did all the cookies and cache stuff they keep pushing here. Told me on the phone it was their problem and I asked how we were going to fix this. They told me to call back in a week.

Thank you so much for reaching out regarding your Xfinity App issues @user_emq52k. We have identified and already implemented a fix for this as of February 25th. It is best to clear cache/cookies on your browser cache/cookies or uninstall/reinstall on mobile to ensure you have the most up-to-date software patch.

Imagine that! I have to clean cookies and cache :DDD (especially it doesn't help). Other websites work, but to pay for internet you have to clear the cache! (Reminder, it doesn't work).

Things are so bad for me that the Official Xfinity Employee doesn't even reply to me.  This is their mission statement.

"Putting the Customer at the Center of Everything We Do

Finally after an Hour and a half on the phone today. I finally got my credit card updated and payment made. I had to call my credit card company on a three way call so that they could verify I had the balance to make the payment. We tried 3 different cards but no way was it their fault. Somehow I got moved up the ladder and someone got it taken care of. Probably 10 hours worth of calls and this wonderful mission statement.

"Putting the Customer at the Center of Everything We Do

We are committed to respecting our customers’ time, simplifying their experience, and making things right if we fall short."   There was no making it right for the ten hours I wasted of my life. They got paid and just said thanks.

When I log into my account now it says I don't owe anything but now I am getting emails saying I may lose some of my service because my bill hasn't been paid yet. When will the madness stop.

Hello, @user_huuavt! Thanks for reaching out to us on the forums! I apologize to hear that you keep running into this issue when trying to pay your bill. By chance have you tried to bring up a private browsing session (or Incognito window if you are using Chrome) to see if you are able to log in and make the payment that way?
