It is inconceivable that SECO would turn off anyone’s power because of payment of a bill being “a couple of days late”—unless, of course, it was a number of days more than “a couple,” and it was following the third/final notice! I also once missed a bill completely at a time when my mail was “wandering,” and they simply sent a two-month bill the following month, as another poster pointed out.
The only mistakes ever made with my paying bills were made by ME! I have automatic payment in place, either from my checking account or from my credit card, on just about every bill possible, and since I did this, there have NEVER AGAIN been any mistakes.
At the same time I can accept that others prefer not to relinquish control and would not do it the way I do. And that's fine.
