Choose Your Bill’s Due Date
With Choose Your Due Date (CDD), you can select the time frame for your bill date that is the most convenient for you. The available choices are the beginning, middle, or end of the month, and you can change up to two times a year.
To learn more or sign up, call us at 800-655-4555 and:
- After listening to your account balance, select ‘‘Billing & Payment programs’’
- Then choose ‘‘Change Bill Due Date’’ and make your selection.
The change is usually effective on the following month’s bill (it may take two bills).
If you are on any of the following billing options, we cannot enable CDD: Level Pay Plan, Net Energy Metering, Summary Billing or an Owner Continuity Agreement status.
We offer several other billing and payment-related tools that work with or without CDD. You can learn more about these and other self-service options at www.sce.com/myaccount.
