How to Cancel Online Billing
If you are paying any bill online and you wish to cancel this service, here are the basic steps you can follow.
For example, if you are paying a telephone bill via automatic payment, contact your telephone company and request that the service is to be canceled.
If you are paying for credit card bills online, the process is quite easy. While most companies allow you to cancel online by simply looking for the “cancel service” or by locating it through reading the FAQ section of the website, other credit card companies request that you call them directly.
Direct contact is a safety precaution. In this way they will ask for the credit card number and the last four digits of your social security number to ensure you are the person to whom the card was issued.
For all other billing payments made online, you can utilize either method. You can either call the company or cancel the service directly online. If you do cancel, try to do so before your billing cycle. This is especially true with utility companies, who will charge your bill pro rate if you should cancel in the middle of the billing cycle. Any company you call will let you know when to expect a paper bill in the mail.
Otherwise, the safest way to cancel any service of this kind is to notify the company directly. In this way you will be able to obtain the name of the person with whom you are speaking and ask any other questions that may arise.
In addition, you will need to have the paper bill be sent again to your home. Thus, your name and address will be required as verification.
After you’ve canceled the service, keep the site bookmarked until you receive your first paper bill. This is in case you need to check your statements online before the cancellation process has commenced.
Canceling online billing is easy. For your own records, it’s a good idea to print out the last two monthly statements so that you can check the accuracy of the paper bill when it arrives.
