52 Pa. Code § 64.11

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 49, December 7, 2024

Section 64.11 - Method of payment

Payment may be made in any reasonable manner including payment by personal check, unless the customer within the past year has tendered a check which has been returned unpaid to the LEC by a financial institution for a reason for which the customer is at fault. When a tendered personal check is returned unpaid to the LEC by a financial institution for a reason for which the customer is at fault, the LEC may treat such unpaid check as a payment never made by the customer and, if it does so, shall not be obligated to halt suspension or termination action based on its receipt of this check from the customer. The LEC may impose a charge for a returned check as long as the charge is set forth in the LEC's approved tariff, Product Guide or similar document. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the LEC may not proceed with suspension or termination of service based on a disputed billed amount if the customer stops payment on a check due to a good faith billing dispute.
