Why wasn’t my Recurring Payment processed?

There are various reasons your payment may not have been processed. Recurring Payments will initiate a debit to the payment account you have chosen as the payment method. If the payment doesn’t process and your payment method is a credit card, you will be notified by email. If your payment method is checking or savings, it could take from one to five days for your payment to reject and you will be notified by email when this occurs. If you believe that your payment was not made, and it should have been, please contact StratusIQ at (719) 573-5343.
