Payment Issue Summary
The Trailblazer Broadband New Customer Sign Up system improperly saved credit card information for new customer accounts that were created between 7/8/21 and 8/2/21. Customers who signed up for service using this system between 7/8/21 and 8/2/21 must re-enter their credit card information into the online Customer Portal in order for Autopay to work properly.
The Stripe Sign-Up flow launched on July 8th, 2021 incorrectly implemented the method in which customer credit card numbers were saved in Stripe. This resulted in a successful first charge for these customers, but a non-functioning Autopay system for these customers (due to payment methods not being properly attached to customers inside of Stripe). Due to PCI compliance limitations that apply to this situation, Stripe does not allow attaching these payment methods to customers in the Stripe system after the initial payment was collected.
