At Auto Payment, we strive to provide our users with transparency regarding their rights and eligibility for refunds. Understanding the specific circumstances surrounding your account can help clarify whether you might be eligible for a refund. Below are some situations that may warrant a review of your billing and could lead to a refund eligibility assessment.
