Cox Communications bills all customers in advance for monthly standard service charges and in arrears for usage-based charges such as On Demand/pay-per-view and long distance. Credits or charges for any service changes made during the month will be reflected in the next bill.

Payment in full is due to Cox by the “Due By” date indicated on your statement. If full payment is not received by this date your bill will become past due and may be subject to additional fees such as late payment charges, electronic reactivation fees, or returned check fees.

Your bill is subject to a late fee if it is not paid within six days from the “Due By” date. A late fee of $3.50 will be assessed. If your bill is not paid within 25 days from the "Due By" date a late fee of $4.50 will be assessed.

A returned payment charge of $25.00 will be applied when any negotiable instrument presented for payment for service--including credit card, electronic payment or check--becomes dishonored and is returned to us by your financial institution.

If you pay your bill after the “Due By” date or have a payment returned by your financial institution, or you have a significant increase in usage-based charges, such as long distance, Cox may require a new or additional deposit. The deposit must be paid by cash, money order or credit card.

If you have recently added or removed services, a "partial month" charge or credit will appear on this statement. This charge or credit reflects the differences between your previous monthly rate and the new monthly rate from the date of the change in service to the end of the current billing cycle.

If your services are disconnected for non-payment, you must pay the outstanding balance in full, a month of service in advance, and a charge to reconnect your service. You may also be required to pay a deposit prior to activation of service.

Following a disconnection, monies collected by Cox at the service address could be subject to an additional $20.00 collection fee.
