Need help with payment arrangement

 Well since I keep getting shutoff even during arrangements which I was told would not be charged for restoring service and actually was. I need to make arrangement to get caught back up, which I have scheduled. I have paid over 750 dollars last 2 months and the bill somehow goes up instead of down.

@mrshaunyd I know how important services are and I am here to help you check into your account and your payment arrangement.

Below is how a payment arrangement works and may not be what is happening with your issue, but is provided for our community if they see this thread and have questions about payment arrangements. 

A payment arrangement prevents services from being soft disconnected by allowing a customer to extend their payment. Customers can extend the payment 21 extra days from when the Payment Arrangement is first set up, but not more than 10 days past soft disconnection.

If the customer is already in soft disconnect, they can extend no more than 10 days from when they set up the Payment Arrangement. A Payment Arrangement requires the customer to pay the full past due amount owed on the future date selected.

A Payment Arrangement is different from a scheduled payment. A customer can schedule a payment at any time, for any date, for any amount. However, a scheduled payment won't stop a soft disconnect from occurring, unless:

  • The payment date for the scheduled payment is before the soft disconnect date, and
  • The amount of the payment is for at least the full past due balance.

If the customer is past due and they cannot pay the full past due amount before the soft disconnect date, they must set up a Payment Arrangement through My Account, by IVR or through an agent with one-time payment access to keep services active. If the customer is not eligible for a Payment Arrangement and schedules a payment outside the eligible timeframe or schedules a payment for less than the full past-due amount, services will be soft disconnected.

Your service and billing issues are very concerning and I would like to look further into things for you.

How do I extend a current payment arrangement for the 13th to the 27th of July, 2022. My husband just secured a great. Job but he doesn't get paid until the 27th and I can't afford to lose my internet since I work remotely for a bank.

 Hello @user_1dba2a! I am sorry to hear that your services are being interrupted at the moment. Did you happen to see the information by colleague post up above and set up a payment arrangement via the IVR or speaking with a phone agent already?
