Lately, I realized SCE may have purposely delayed the traditional check in the mail payment method and let the payment past due. Happened to me (2x). I sent the checks to SCE but have to logged in the site later to pay using electronic payment due to the notice that I was past the due date. However, eventually the checks were cashed, and I ended up with credit in my account. Finally, I notice a message in SCE page after I submitted my payment, which is "As a reminder, today's electronic payment will activate Paperless Billing". Is this purposely designed to get the customers to sign up for paperless billing? Save $$ by eliminating jobs and focusing on automation?
