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 must provide a due date not less than 23 days after postmark or delivery. The bill's printed due date governs delinquency; the tariff does not create a general post-due-date grace period beyond that minimum notice period.
- Late-fee rules
- The current tariff lists a late-payment fee of 1.5% per month on the unpaid balance. Additional charges can include the $0.09 ICC assessment, approved riders, taxes, and a $15 returned-check fee where applicable.
- Shut-off timeline
- The tariff establishes delinquency when a residential bill is not paid by its printed due date, but the reviewed public materials do not publish a single universal calendar-day path from due date to disconnection because notice timing and protections are regulated and account-specific. Contact 1-800-422-2782 before the due date to request an installment plan, preferred due date, or medical-emergency protection.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Illinois American's assistance page tells customers who cannot pay to contact customer service before the due date and identifies installment plans, budget billing, preferred due dates, and medical-emergency notices. The reviewed West Suburban pages do not expose the full current notice sequence, exact number of warning contacts, or delivery channels.
- Reconnection costs
- For the Chicago Metro tariff schedule, renewal after disconnection is $32.00 during regular business hours and $148.00 after regular business hours. Customer activation is $10.00; a $15.00 returned-check fee also applies where applicable.
