What You'll Need
Spectrum does not make long-term payment arrangements for past-due amounts in the traditional sense that many other companies do. However, it does allow you to make future-dated single payments scheduled to be made at a particular time, and it also allows you to regularly schedule payments for your regular bill, via autopay.Please note that, if you need to cancel or otherwise alter your autopay arrangement, you need to do so at least three full business days before your automatic payment is scheduled. Otherwise, the payment will already be making its way through Spectrum's system and it can no longer be canceled or changed in time.After you cancel autopay, after you have worked through your current financial issues, you can always sign up for the autopay arrangement again.
