Habersham EMC bases security deposits on a credit check. When your credit information is pulled online, HEMC employees do not see your credit rating, just the deposit amount you should be charged.
If you maintain a good payment history (meaning no late payments), your security deposit will automatically be refunded after 2 years.
Any payment received after 5 p.m. on the due date is considered a late payment.
If you move outside HEMC service territory before 2 years have elapsed, the security deposit and membership fee will be applied to your final bill, with any excess being sent to you as a refund check.
If you still owe after the deposit and membership fee have been applied, a bill will be sent to you.
