CTS Billing Policies
All overdue accounts will be locked until payment is received. To have account unlocked, customer will be required to pay balance, including a $10 re-instatement fee. Customer will be notified by mail and given 10 days to pay the balance before finance charges are applied and the matter is turned over to collections. All customers will be responsible for any fees associated with collecting monies owed. Monthly customers will be encouraged to pay for services by credit card. If they wish to pay by check, a $1/month handling fee will be included. If you wish to cancel your account, we require a letter with your signature, be mailed to the above address. Please mail your cancellation letter at least two weeks prior to your regular scheduled billing date. All users who cancel their accounts are still required to pay any invoices that are due. We will not refund money on canceled monthly or yearly accounts, unless users are in the military and are transferred out of the area. Please note: non-payment or non use of your account does NOT constitute cancellation. You are responsible for payment on your account regardless of whether or not you use the service during a given period. Please note that we now offer dial-up Internet services nationwide, so if you are moving out of the central Virginia area, you may still be able to use your CTSI account. Please call our office for more information. If you have any further questions about our policies or services, feel free to call us at 804-768-6707.
