Make a Promise to Pay

If you can’t make a payment by the due date or you’ve already missed a payment, you can make a Promise to Pay and let us know when you’ll be able to pay your bill. This may take approximately 24 hours to take effect.

  1. Sign in to your directv.com account.
  2. Select Need more time to pay? In the My Account section.
  3. In the Promise to Pay window, fill in your expected payment date, payment amount, and payment method.
  4. Select Submit.

Heads up: Late fees may still apply to your account.

By making a Promise to Pay, you’re informing us of payment you’ll be making in the future and not scheduling an actual payment. If your Promise to Pay request is approved, you’ll see a confirmation on the website or in your email. If you do not see a confirmation, our chat agents will be able to assist you.

Please return to directv.com to make a payment before your expected payment date to avoid late fees and possible service interruption in the future.
