What If I Owe More Than My Final Bill Balance?
If your outstanding balance with Verizon exceeds your final bill amount, you’ll need to pay the remaining amount separately.
This usually happens if you still owed money when disconnecting service. Since your final bill only covers charges up to the disconnection date, any prior balance will need to be paid individually.
You can pay this old balance the same way – through the Verizon disconnected bill pay page. Just be sure to pay the prior balance and final bill separately to ensure proper application.
Avoid Verizon Collections with Quick Payment
Once your account is disconnected, Verizon expects full payment of any remaining balances. If left unpaid, they will send accounts to collections after a certain period of time.
This can negatively impact your credit score and history. Avoid collections by promptly paying your full disconnected balance, including any amount that carried over before disconnection.
The quicker you pay, the less risk of extra fees, interest charges, or other penalties for late payment on a closed account. Don’t let an old Verizon bill languish!
Paying Disconnected Bills Is Quick and Easy
Whether moving to a new provider or closing your account, paying your final Verizon bill is simple. Just visit their disconnected bill pay page and submit payment using your preferred method.
With a few pieces of information and 2 minutes, you can settle up your remaining Verizon balance online. Just be sure to pay any prior balance separately from your final bill.
Taking care of older Verizon bills responsibly will help you maintain good financial standing as you move forward. So pay those disconnected bills ASAP and close out that chapter!
