What is the procedure for canceling my Peoples Gas account?

- Explain that you are relocating and, if applicable, seek termination of your recurring payments.
What happens if you don’t keep up with your Verizon payments?
Yes. If your account has a past due balance of more than $5, you will be charged a late payment fee. A payment plan does not eliminate the late fee.
A late payment fee can be applied to your account as soon as the day following the due date of the original bill. Late fees are assessed at a rate of 1.5 percent of the unpaid balance, or $5 (whichever is larger), or as otherwise permitted by law.
If your outstanding balance is $50, for example, a $5 late fee is added to your bill each month until you’re current (since 1.5 percent of $50 is less than $5).

Is it possible for Peoples Gas to be offline in Chicago during the winter?
Utilities regulated by the state are prohibited from shutting down services until March 31, 2021; financial assistance is available to consumers in financial distress.
Chicago, IL Attorney General Kwame Raoul today reminded Illinois utility customers that state-regulated electric and natural gas utilities are forbidden by state law from turning off power or gas to customers during the winter. To safeguard the public throughout the cold winter months, all clients, regardless of financial circumstances, cannot be disconnected until March 31, 2021. Even with the embargo in place, Raoul advises residents who are behind on their bills to call their utilities to find out about available assistance.
Utility disconnections have disproportionately impacted minority neighborhoods, and this has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Raoul explained. Regardless of financial circumstances, my office has campaigned on behalf of consumers to ensure that residents have access to sustainable repayment plans and bill assistance so that they may remain connected to essential energy services. I encourage customers to use the materials provided by my office to learn more about the options accessible to them.
Even while gas and electric services cannot be turned off over the winter, customers should look into their alternatives for managing their costs during the winter to prevent having a huge balance due all at once in the spring. Customers who need help may qualify for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The application period for LIHEAP is open through June 20, 2021, or until funds are depleted. Utility customers may be eligible for LIHEAP support if their family income was at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty threshold in the previous 30 days. Many formerly ineligible households may suddenly be eligible for LIHEAP if they are now unemployed or underemployed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. People should call the Illinois LIHEAP Hotline at 1-877-411-9276 or go to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s website to see whether they are eligible or find an agency that can assist with applications.
Furthermore, regulated electric and gas utilities are providing customers enduring financial challenges as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak with extended bill payment alternatives, including up to 24 months to settle past due amounts as well as bill assistance. Consumers who are having trouble paying their utility bills can inform their utility supplier of their financial difficulties and ask for information on assistance and repayment choices.
Attorney General Raoul encourages Illinois people to visit his website for more information on consumer safeguards, especially if they are about to be disconnected. Residents with inquiries can call 1-800-386-5438 in Chicago, 1-800-243-0618 in Springfield, and 1-800-243-0607 in Carbondale, or file an online complaint.

What is a payment arrangement and how does it work?
Payment arrangements are pre-arranged payments that are processed on the dates you specify. You can pay the complete amount owed in two installments, which is the most typical payment method. Both payments must be made within 30 days of the date you make the agreement.
