FAQ

How do I refer an account?
     Accounts may be submitted by email, fax, tape drop, or by mail. A copy of the itemized bill showing services rendered, information sheet showing responsible party, address, home and business number, social security number (if provided), date of birth, spousal information, and any cell numbers. If submitting an NSF check, a copy is sufficient. We are unable to collect on fraud, forgery or lost/stolen checks.
