Q: In Califonria can a company you have an account with take your monthy payment on Auto pay? I did not want auto pay.
We have an account with Xifinity/Comcast. One of the accounts is Internet/Tv service and we pay the monthly bill without it being on auto pay. We have a mobile account and I asked them to take us off auto pay and they refused. I asked them many many times and they still refused.
What is the law on that? Auto pay with a company you have an aacount with in California?
A: Yes. Xfinity mobile only uses autopay. It is in the terms of service. You agreed to it. You can use a different mobile phone company if you want.
Leon Bayer and Yelena Gurevich agree with this answer
A: Under California law, a company generally cannot force a customer to enroll in auto pay without the customer's consent. If you did not agree to auto pay and repeatedly requested to be removed from it, the company should comply with your request. It's advisable to maintain records of your communication with the company in case you need to dispute any unauthorized charges or take legal action to enforce your rights.
