Ill. Admin. Code tit. 83, § 735.150 - Payment for Service
a) Payment shall be
made by the due date shown on the monthly bill and will be by check, draft or other
negotiable instrument denominated in U.S. dollars acceptable to the company or in
United States currency.
b) If the
customer remits to the company on more than one occasion during a twelve (12) month
period a check, draft, or other instrument which is dishonored the company may
refuse acceptance of further checks and place the customer on a "cash" basis
pursuant to its tariffs. Under a "cash" basis the company may refuse acceptance of
anything as payment other than United States currency, U.S. Postal Service money
orders, or an instrument denominated in U.S. dollars and guaranteed by or issued by
a third party acceptable to the company. The company shall advise the customer in
writing of the restriction and of the various options available in paying by
"cash."
c) Receipt of a subsequently
dishonored negotiable instrument in response to a notice of discontinuance shall not
constitute payment of a customer's account and no utility shall be required to issue
additional notice prior to discontinuance. However, three (3) banking days must be
allowed for redemption of such instrument.
d) The company may assess a charge for dishonored
checks in accordance with tariffs approved by the Commission.
