What if I miss a premium payment?

If a payment doesn’t go through, we’ll notify you by email and continue attempting to collect payment automatically.

Missing a payment doesn’t immediately cancel your policy—you’ll have time to resolve it.


What happens next:

Grace period (first 30 days)

  • Your coverage remains active

  • We’ll continue retrying your payment automatically

  • You can also contact support@meetfabric.com to make a payment


Auto-reinstatement period (next 30 days)

  • Your coverage is paused

  • You can reinstate your policy without underwriting

  • We’ll continue automated payment attempts

  • You can contact support@meetfabric.com to make a payment


Policy lapse

If payment is not received after the auto-reinstatement period, your policy will lapse due to non-payment. To reinstate your policy after it has lapsed, you’ll need to:

  • Complete a reinstatement form

  • Pass a basic underwriting review

  • Pay all past-due premiums plus 6% interest

To start this process, contact support@meetfabric.com.


Why you might see multiple charges

If you notice multiple charges on the same day or on consecutive days, it’s usually because more than one payment was missing. When payments are overdue, our system will attempt to collect each outstanding payment to bring your policy back up to date.
