20:10:08:08Early payment list.

Early payment of bills may be required in lieu of a deposit. Early disconnection after early billing is proper if a subscriber fails to pay within the shorter payment period of ten days. However, placement on an early payment list may only apply to those from whom a telecommunications company may, in accordance with this chapter, require a deposit, and such placement must end when an applicant or subscriber establishes credit that would under § 20:10:08:12 result in the return of a deposit.
