Money order vs. a Check?
A money order is a prepaid payment method that is not tied to a bank account, ensuring that the funds are guaranteed. In contrast, a check (especially a personal check) is linked to a bank account and can bounce if there are insufficient funds.

What is an e-Check?
An e-Check is a way for individuals and businesses to make
payments from their checking account electronically. An e-check is essentially an electronic payment from your checking account. In order to use an e-check you will need to have the bank's routing number, your checking account number and of course your name as listed on the account.

The refundable deposit for services has increased to $250 for new service.
If an account becomes 30 days past due, the account will forfeit their deposit and be applied toward the past due amount & fees. To have services restored, account balance and a new $250 deposit must be paid in full.
