From: indiana-boun...@wispa.org <indiana-boun...@wispa.org> On Behalf Of Eric Rogers Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2020 2:46 PM To: indiana@wispa.org Subject: Re: [Indiana] past due's There were talks of proposals of being able to pull from a fund, however my mind says that if you pull from the fund, you may have to pay into the fund... We are not charging late fees, we are not disconnecting people, and we are not charging overages during this time. We are slowing people down to a minimum (3M) connection to those that don't pay, so they can still do some things online to get by. There may be creative ways for you to work with customers that will gain you some kudos down the road. I know your margins are down, and will be until the economy gets going again. Let me know if you do get to a point that you are wanting to get more information on reimbursements and I can ask Scott Rudd about it.

So far we have been able to keep the numbers down by increasing throughput for free for those who pay on time. So we are around 3%.but it's going to be those same 3% over the next month or so and I'm sure more people will be added to it Kevin Freels SWIFTech Inc 5444 E Indiana Box 110 Evansville, IN 47715 812-901-1101 Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36> ________________________________ From: indiana-boun...@wispa.org<mailto:indiana-boun...@wispa.org> <indiana-boun...@wispa.org<mailto:indiana-boun...@wispa.org>> on behalf of Michael Stimson <m...@fastlanenet.com<mailto:m...@fastlanenet.com>> Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2020 11:43:46 AM To: indiana@wispa.org<mailto:indiana@wispa.org> <indiana@wispa.org<mailto:indiana@wispa.org>> Subject: Re: [Indiana] past due's Fellow WISP Does anyone know who in Indiana we can submit a bill to for the people who did not pay their bill. I have 35 that we did not shut off and remember in past Indiana WISP emails we could contact someone with the state that would reimburse us if we did not shut them off. I just can't seem to find that email. I suppose I am pretty lucky having only about 4% no pays . Thank you! Michael F.
