Ameren Illinois customers who have fallen behind on their energy bills have the opportunity to catch up and pay those bills off. Jenifer Hagen, Community Relations Coordinator for Ameren Illinois, told Regional Radio News, customers with past due balances have the option to establish a repayment plan by making a 10 percent down payment on their bill until March 31.

Hagen says this is a great opportunity for their customers because on April 1, it will then be 25% down payment on their bill.

To establish a repayment plan, go to amerenillinois.com or call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-755-5000.
