Why it is Important to Speak to an Agent

It is always important to communicate with the company if you are having problems paying your bill since in today's world of technology everything runs automatically and your payments are charged to the credit card you have on file when due. This means that bills are due on a monthly basis and processed by automation. If the due date passed and your bill is not paid, then you can face all kinds of problems.

Will Charter Communications Terminate Services for Missing a Payment?

Of course, Charter Communications won't terminate your services the first day you miss a payment, or even after skipping a few weeks of payments or even a month. However, you face applicable late fee charges that you will be responsible for paying along with your overdue service charges as well. Once your account has been past due for 30 days, you will receive a reminder message included with your monthly bill. If your account remains unpaid after receiving the notice, Charter Communications may terminate your services. Services interrupted due to non-payment, are subject to more charges in order to reinstate your account.
