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
- 21 days from the invoice/billing date; the 2026 rate sheet says a 10% late fee applies to unpaid balances 21 days from the billing date.
- Late-fee rules
- A 10% late fee applies to unpaid balances after 21 days from the billing date. The reviewed official materials do not state a lower cap, waiver rule, or escalating interest schedule beyond the 10% charge.
- Shut-off timeline
- The 2026 rate sheet states an impending-lock notice at 30 days from the bill date. If the account remains delinquent, the listed lock/reconnection charge applies; the reviewed materials do not publish the exact physical-lock date beyond that notice milestone.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Vallecitos publishes a specific notice milestone—notice of impending lock 30 days from the bill date—and advises customers having trouble paying to contact Customer Service. The reviewed pages do not specify whether the notice is mailed, emailed, called, texted, or posted at the door.
- Reconnection costs
- The 2026 rate sheet lists a $150 reconnection charge for lock and unlock, plus a $75 additional fee for an after-business-hours unlock. It also lists a $25 notice-of-impending-lock fee.
