Provider-specific findings

Delinquency research for this provider

The notes below may document a rule or explain a specific public-information limit. Any active notice and direct provider confirmation remain controlling.

Grace period
Residential bills are delinquent if unpaid within 19 days from the mailing date. Liberty allows a total of 79 days from the mailing date before residential service may be discontinued for nonpayment, subject to statutory notices and protections.
Late-fee rules
Schedule LC imposes a 1.5% late charge on an unpaid past-due balance, with a $1.00 minimum, generally imposed once on a delinquent bill. Residential households below 200% of the federal poverty level may have late charges waived once every 12 months under the tariff rules.
Shut-off timeline
Day 0 is the bill mailing date; day 19 is the delinquency point; Liberty's residential policy provides up to day 79 from mailing to make full payment before discontinuance. A written impending-shutoff notice must be mailed at least seven business days before discontinuation, with additional occupant notice rules where the owner or manager is the account holder.
Warning and notice protocol
Written notices are mailed to the account mailing address and, when different, to the service address addressed to Occupant. If mail is undeliverable Liberty attempts telephone contact, and if it cannot reach the customer it makes a good-faith effort to leave a door tag and disconnection notice. The formal notice is at least seven business days before shutoff; owner-account residential occupants receive a property posting at least 15 days before discontinuance.
Reconnection costs
$50 during regular working hours or $150 after working hours. The remaining balance and a security deposit may also be required. Fees must be paid in full by cash, money order, card, or the website; same-day restoration requires payment and office notification by 4:00 p.m., otherwise restoration is scheduled for the next business day.
