iq <br />¦ PEMC will work with any account with a payment problem provided we have <br />not had problems on the account in the past (broken agreements, meter <br />tamper, etc.). <br />With regard to new accounts, new members pay a $5.00 membership fee and <br />a deposit unless we can get information showing their creditworthiness <br />through a credit check or a letter of credit from a former electric utility. A <br />PEMC member can act as guarantor for a new member as long as the <br />guaranteeing member has excellent credit. We have arranged a guarantor <br />process with Inter-Faith Council for their clients. IFC will guarantee the <br />account holders deposit if the account is disconnected and remains unpaid. <br />IFC will only guarantee up to the minimum amount. If the deposit is higher, <br />the client will have to provide the difference. <br />Summary of Charges*** <br />¦ Membership Fee $5.00 <br />¦ Security Deposit (min) $175.00 <br />¦ Security Deposit (max) limited to the sum of the two highest bills in last <br /> 12 months <br />¦ Late Penalty .5% of unpaid past due balance <br />¦ Disconnect Fee $15.00 <br />¦ Reconnect Fee (day) $15.00 <br />¦ Reconnect Fee (night) $60.00 <br />¦ Meter tamper/divert Bill paid in full (including estimated kWh <br /> stolen), maximum deposit, pay all charges <br /> required to secure meter base.
