Avoid Late Fees and Service Disruption
Don’t let late SCE bill payments result in penalties that can really add up. Stay on track with on-time payment using one of the many convenient options SCE offers. Late fees typically start at 1.5% and can lead to service disconnection if chronic late payments become an issue.
Setting payment reminders, enrolling in autopay, and paying online early are simple ways to prevent headaches from missed due dates. Plus, late payments negatively impact your credit rating over time.
Rather than deal with the stresses of late fees or collections, take advantage of SCE’s online, mobile and automated payment processing to pay on time every time.
