If you pay for your service by credit card or automatic bank
deduction, we'll send you an electronic copy of your invoice
each month. This "e-invoice" typically shows a "$0"
balance, meaning that your credit card or bank account has
already been charged or debited and no action is required
on your part. Here, the e-invoice is just for your records,
to provide you with a breakdown of the charges applied to
your account. If your e-invoice shows a positive balance due,
your automatic payment was rejected and action is required
on your part (see next question).
If you pay by credit card, a rejected payment usually means
that either your credit card is no longer valid (i.e. you've
cancelled it, it has been reissued under another number, or
it has expired) or it has reached its limit. Remember that
if your credit card number changes, your credit card issuer
will not necessarily update that information in our records.
To ensure that the information we have is current, you should
update your credit card information whenever it changes. You
can do this from our My
Account site.
If you pay by automatic bank deduction, a rejected payment
usually means that you've either closed your account or that
the account contains insufficient funds.
Whatever the reason for the rejected payment, you have a number
of options:
- Permanently change your method of payment, such as using
a different credit card
- Submit a one-time payment on another credit card by going
to My
Account
- Mail a check or money order to: EarthLink, Inc., P.O.
Box 530530, Atlanta, GA 30353-0530. Please write your account
number on the memo line.
Because of postal delays, we might not receive or process
your payment before we send out a second notice. Get up-to-the-minute
information about your current balance at My
Account.
You would typically receive another bill for three primary
reasons:
- If you have any unpaid balance due from earlier payment
periods, you may receive another bill for that balance due.
This balance includes fees associated with checks that have
bounced.
- Basic service charges such as your dial-up or DSL plan
cover the upcoming month. Charges that are usage-based (i.e.
800 Access, international dial-up access, simultaneous usage
or extra hours used) can't be calculated in advance and
are therefore billed after you have used the services. If
you canceled your service after incurring additional charges,
you will receive another invoice reflecting those charges.
- If your cancellation caused you to incur early termination
fees according to your agreement with EarthLink, you will
receive an invoice reflecting those fees.
