Spectrum ‘Action Required’ email: What you need to know

The urgent-looking email says:

ACTION REQUIRED: Important Billing Update

To continue providing you with the best customer service, we are updating our billing system on November 9, 2021. As a result, you will receive a new account number and your payments will need to be sent to a new remittance address after November 9.

Charter Spectrum spokesman Michael Pedelty said the email is legit.

He said in a statement: “It is a legitimate notification. We provided customers with notice this change was coming in their monthly bills.”

“We are converting to a new billing system, which will provide customers with a new account number. Those who pay via traditional mail will need to send their payments to the new address. If a customer pays their bill via autopay (EFT, credit card, third party provider), they will need to update to the new Spectrum account number with their financial institution.”

You will want to look at your November Spectrum bill carefully for that new account number.

When you go to pay that bill, change the billing destination to:

Spectrum

P.O. Box 6030

Carol Stream, IL 60197

Those who pay through your bank’s bill pay system should enter that new address into their system.
