Fios account # changed and problems with billing

I had automatic biling set up with Verizon for our Fios internet. In August, Verizon changed my account number, but my automatic billing did not migrate. When will this be fixed?

I feel your pain.  I have automatic billing and Verizon notified me a few weeks ago they were changing my account number, but if I had automatic billing, I didn't have to do anything.  I received the normal notice in early August that my bill was due, and would be billed to my card on 8/13/14.  Yesteray, (9/2/14), when I looged into my account, I received a huge notice that my account was PAST DUE, and I could click to go pay it NOW!!  I went to my credit card statement, and the payment was processed on 8/28/14, but as VERIZON WIRELESS!  I DO NOT HAVE VERIZON WIRELESS, but the amount charged was my FIOS service bill.  

As a technology company, Verizon has probably the slowest web site I ever have to visit, and they even send me email offers for account upgrades with links that do not work.

Hello jimbealde

Have you contacted the Billing Dept. of Verizon to get this straightened out?

Regretably I am currently overseas, and unable to call. The only two options that the bot presented were to call and to try to use the online forum.
