I’ve been a Koodo customer for almost two years, and I’ve always made it a priority to top up early so I never miss a payment. I currently have $55.25 in available funds, and my monthly bill is $55. So I’m genuinely confused and disappointed to be told that my plan couldn’t be renewed and that I now need to pay additional fees to have it reactivated.

It doesn’t make sense to me that I’m being asked to pay more when the funds are already sitting in my account and clearly cover the cost of my plan. I’ve consistently paid on time — early, actually — to avoid situations like this. Being told I need to pay extra despite having sufficient funds feels unfair and frustrating.

I’ve been loyal to Koodo, but situations like this are honestly making me reconsider whether I should continue my service or look into switching providers. I would really appreciate this being looked into and resolved without additional charges, as I’ve done my part to ensure my bill was covered.

Just to confirm, is the $55 amount - that you mentioned - included tax? If it didn't, you would likely have to pay more.

Also, is today your renewal date?

To add on to Dinh, did you follow up with your bank to see why the funds are not being transferred over? Can you confirm if you have overdraft protection on your chequing account?

Have you considered using another form of payment such as your credit card or get a top-up voucher from a store? https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/topping-your-prepaid-account

Today is my renewal date yes. And tax is included I believe. When I click the payment option it's asking me to pay $55 and that my available funds of $55.25 will be at $0 once paid

I always purchase the top up vouchers at a gas station.

Oh, I made a few searches. When you buy the voucher you already paid tax. 

Regarding the renewal, Koodo prepaid sometimes had cases like this, normally it will automatically renew after the billing date. As well have you tried to manually renew the plan in self-service?
