How the Penalty Fees Work
Many companies will work with customers to prevent penalty fees if the customer contacts the service department. Remember, Source Gas has no idea you are having temporary payment problems so they can’t help if they have no idea about the problem. Source Gas does not reveal specific amounts of fees, but the company does list the fees that will be assessed.
- Late payment charge
- Insufficient funds charge
- Reconnection charge
- Bill collection charge
I Can’t Make a Payment
Source Gas claims they will work with customers to setup a payment plan to resolve a past due balance. The payment plan is called the Account Settlement Agreement.
- Account Settlement Agreement: Customers must pay a portion of the past due balance before placing the remaining amount due on a payment plan. Typically, the down payment is one-quarter of the balance with the remaining three-quarters broken into three monthly payments. The customer is responsible for the payment plan amount and current charges.
- Budget Billing: To prevent unexpected bill hikes, place your account on the budget billing program. Your bill remains the same each month and you can plan a budget around the bill instead of being stuck with a huge bill and no financial means to pay off the balance.
- LIHEAP: If you use gas as your primary means of heating or cooling your home, you may qualify for LIHEAP. LIHEAP is a federal program for low-income people. It is simple to learn how to qualify for energy assistance with LIHEAP.
