What’s a deferred payment plan?
A Deferred Payment Plan is an agreement between the Retail Electric Provider and a customer that allows a customer to pay an outstanding balance in up to 5 installments that extend beyond the due date of the current bill and avoid disconnection of service for the past due balance. Customer agrees to have a switch-hold placed on the account and during the curse of this payment plan, customer is required to pay the current invoice and the agreed upon installment amount on time, every month until the plan has been successfully fulfilled. Failure to make a payment on time each month will default the “DPP” and the standard collection procedures will begin on the account.
