I’m on autopay but my payment didn’t withdraw. Why?

This could be for a few reasons.

 

First, please double-check your email. If your payment was rejected by your bank, you should have received an email with the reason your bank refused the payment.

 

The next most common reason is that your autopay is set to “Entire Balance” instead of a fixed amount and the date you chose your payment to withdraw is too early. Our software can only see charges 5 days into the future. Especially if you picked a date like the 25th or 26th, this may be close enough to the end of the month in some months but not in 31 day months. If you choose the 27th, you will always be within 5 days of the end of the month and you shouldn’t have this problem.

 

Lastly, very rarely, it sometimes just doesn’t work. In our experience, out of all of the communities and individual homes under our management, we see this occur once or twice a year. To know if the problem is on our end, when you log into your account click “Payments” in the menu and look at “Scheduled payments” at the top of the page. If the date is in the past, the failure was on our end. You can fix this yourself by clicking “Edit” on that payment and changing the date to the next date you want it to pull a payment to a future date. If you aren’t comfortable doing this, we are happy to help if you contact us via email at service@ajenning.com. Please email for help on this issue; don’t call. In order to make changes to your account for you, we need evidence of your permission in writing.

 

Regardless of the reason your autopay didn’t pull, it may be necessary to make a one-time payment to correct the error. You can do this by clicking the “Make a payment” button. You will be warned that you already have a scheduled autopay. Proceeding by clicking the “Yes, make payment” button will not interfere with your existing autopay going forward.
