Plans for customers with a past-due account
Level payment plan
Take up to 12 months to reconcile your account balance with a level payment plan.
How it works:
You pay 1/12 of the total balance due, plus an equal installment each month, until you've paid off your account balance at the end of 12 months. You'll see the actual usage and level payment amount on your bill, but you'll only have to pay your level payment amount. Please note: Your monthly amount may change without prior notice based on changes in usage or rates, so keep an eye on your bill.

Current bill plus plan
Keep up with your current bills and take up to 12 months to make up any payments you missed.
How it works:
Pay 1/12 of the total balance due, plus the current bill, each month until the contract amount is paid off. This option works with a lower initial payment. Please note: Bills are unpredictable and vary according to usage per month.
