Q. How Soon Can I Start Making Payments? It takes approximately 24 to 48 hours for your enrollment form to be processed and for you to receive confirmation via e-mail. Your confirmation will contain all the information you need to begin making payments.
Q. Is There Anyone I Cannot Pay Through HFS Bill Payer? Only government taxing authorities or court directed payments such as alimony and child support. No payments outside the United States. There are limitations on payments to security companies for stock purchases or trade.
Q. How Many Payments Can I make Each Month? You can make unlimited payments by either PC or phone each month.
Q. Should The Processing Date I Give Be The Date The Payment Is Actually Due? No. You need to allow at least five business days for payments to reach your payee. Be sure to remember that, although you can schedule a payment at any time, payments are actually sent to payees only on business days.
Q. How Far In Advance Can I Schedule A Payment? You can schedule a single payment for up to 60 days in advance.
Q. How Soon Are Funds Actually Taken Out Of My Account? Bill payments are debited from your account on the processing date you requested.
Q. What Happens If I Don't Have Enough Money In My Account To Cover A Bill Payment? If funds are not available on the requested date, your bill payment will be canceled.
Q. What Is The Difference Between Variable/Single Bill Payment And A Recurring Payment? A variable/single bill payment is a one time payment such as your telephone bill where the amount fluctuates each time. Or perhaps it is a payment you do not make regularly such as a florist you use only occasionally. A recurring payment is one made regularly for the same dollar amount, on the same day each month such as your car or mortgage payment. You need only to set up a recurring payment once in the system and only again when the payment is to be changed or canceled. Otherwise, your recurring payments will be made automatically.
Q. When And How Are My Payments Delivered And How Can I Ensure That My Payee Receives My Payment By The Due Date? You may schedule payments to be initiated on the day you enter the information, on a future date or on the same date each month. Although you can enter payment information 24 hours a day 7 days a week, payments can only be initiated on business days. After funds are withdrawn from your account, we may remit your payments by electronic funds transfer, or if the biller does not accept electronic payments, by mailing your payee a check drawn on an account we maintain for this purpose, or by some other appropriate means. Because of the time it takes to remit your payment to the payee, they will not receive payment on the processing date (the date you instructed us to deduct the funds from your account). Therefore, in order to provide sufficient time for payments to be received by your payee, the processing date should be at least five (5) business days before the bill's actual due date.
Q. Why does it take up to five business days for payment? Although a number of your payees accept payments electronically, many do not. For those that do not accept electronic payments, we must send a check to that payee through the U.S. Mail. Once the check is received by the payee, it may also take a day or so for that payee to process the check and post it to your account. Even for electronic payments, it may take two or three days for your account to be posted.
Q. How Close To The Original Payment Date Can I Change Or Cancel A Bill Payment? You can change or delete a bill payment up until 2:30 p.m. EST of the processing date you originally gave us.
Q. What Should I Do If A Payee Has Not Posted My Payment? First, be sure to allow the five (5) business days for a payee to receive your payment. If a payee does not post your payment within five (5) business days of the date you requested the payment to be posted, simply dial toll free 1-866-395-5340 and press "0" for subscriber services. We will follow up on the payment and get back to you within 24 hours.
