To establish or reestablish satisfactory credit, a telecommunications company may request that an applicant for service or an existing subscriber:

(1) Make a cash deposit or increase a deposit;

(2) Be placed on an early payments list in accordance with § 20:10:08:08; or

(3) Be placed on toll-restricted service.

The telecommunications company must give notice at least 15 days before the day a deposit or early payment is required. A subscriber who does not pay a bill in full must comply with the agreements clause in subdivision 20:10:10:03(4).

The telecommunications company shall inform each customer of this rule at the inception of service and in any disconnection notices to enable the customer to avoid disconnection and payment of an additional deposit.
