Is it me; or does it seem this company still doesn't "get" WHY they have a website? To me, the bolded
requests below are on par with having an online store where customers must print out the order forms and
mail them in with a check. W7F? Maybe
their printer is down?
Can anyone clue me in on why a company would even need a paper copy of a form; when everything
else (your account info, bank info [if provided], etc.) is online (on their site) anyway? I mean, it's
obviously not a case of "we're not putting ANYTHING sensitive on the web" - your entire account and
history is there; as well as the ability to pay bills. So it isn't a security issue. I believe the courts have
already accepted certain actions as an 'electronic signature'; so it isn't a need to have an inked signature.
What then? Are they not aware the same form can be filled in online and THEY can print it if paper is
needed?
I'm just curious as why a business would have customers bother with such (paper forms and snail mail)
when they have an operating secure website.
. . . anybody?

Levelized Billing
Amicalola Electric Membership Corporation offers levelized billing for their members. In order to qualify for levelized billing, an AEMC member must have a minimum billing history of 12 months and a zero balance with no record of late charges or cutoff notices. Levelized billing is determined by using your current month's usage in kilowatt hours of consumption. To this we add the previous 11 months of actual kilowatt usage and divide by 12, getting an average of your kilowatt consumption. Your bill is based on this average which is recalculated every month, dropping the 13th month and adding the current to allow a rolling 12 month history. To sign up you will need to fill out a form and mail it back in. There are two options, you can sign up for levelized billing with bank draft, or you can sign up for levelized billing without bank draft, just click on which one you prefer in order to get a form you can print out and mail in.
