Making a payment arrangement

[FidoStephen]

Hey Community,

Sometimes, things happen outside of our control. We get it. If you can’t make a payment in time, let us know so we can arrange something.

You can make a payment arrangement:

In the My Account app or in your Fido.ca account:

• If you have a past-due balance on your account, you will see a banner with the message: Need to postpone your payment? Set up a Promise to Pay.
• Click Set up a Promise to Pay.
• The Total amount past due is the outstanding amount that you must pay to avoid suspension.
• You can choose to pay through Credit Card or Online/Telephone Banking.
• Enter a date on which you will make your payment.
• Click Set up.
• If the set up is successful, you will see a confirmation message.
• The next time you log in to your My Account account, you will see the details of your pending Promise to Pay.
• Once the payment is made, the message disappears and your account balance will be updated (note there are delays for us to receive payments).

Note:

• If the payment is not received, collection activity will resume, and your account may be at risk of service interruption.
• Promise to Pay will not prevent late payment charges if paid after the required payment date on your bill.
• If you are enrolled in automatic payments, this Promise to Pay will not delay your regularly scheduled withdrawal.

By contacting us via Live Chat.

With the Credit Operations team:

• Dial *732 from your Fido phone or 1-888-288-2106 from any other phone
• Contact us to chat with a specialist

Once the payment arrangement has been completed, you’ll receive a confirmation text within the next 15 minutes.

They’re available (all times are local):

• Monday to Friday: 8:30am to 9pm
• Saturday: 9am to 5pm
• Sunday: 10am to 3pm (only open for suspended accounts)

A few things to take note of:

• If you don’t pay your bill on time, a late payment charge may apply.
• If your next bill is issued before you’ve completed your end of the arrangement, your past due balance might appear on the new bill.
• If you miss one of the instalments in your arrangement, your account may be suspended which would incur a suspension fee and collection activity will continue.
• If your payment arrangement restores the service, a restoral fee may be charged to your next bill. Your service will be immediately restored.
• If you choose a different method of payment than discussed, your payment could be received at a later date and your arrangement will be considered as broken. This could negatively impact your payment history, so contact the Credit Operations team to let them know.
