Verizon is an American telecommunications company offering wireless mobile services and products to its customers. The company was originally founded in 2000 and owns over 2,000 retail locations across the United States. If you are a current customer with Verizon and need to make a payment arrangement, keep reading for instructions on how to do so.
A payment arrangement is when a customer needs more time to make a payment on one of their Verizon bills. You agree to pay Verizon the outstanding amount on a date past the bill's due date. When you set up a payment arrangement, you choose the date you will pay, keep your service from being canceled, and keep your account from potentially being forwarded to a collections agency.
