They may request payments or attempt to trick you into providing your bank account information. Always verify the source before sharing any personal or financial details.
What should I do if my energy draft was sent to a heat provider in error because I do not have an account?
What should I do if my energy draft was sent to a heat provider in error because I do not have an account?
Contact provider immediately. Some heat providers will return the energy draft to Michigan Department of Treasury. If eligible, it will be converted to a check and mailed to you.
If your heat provider returns the energy draft back to you, mail it to the Michigan Department of Treasury and request a check. Include a brief statement as to why the draft is being returned and a copy of your lease agreement and/or property tax statements. If eligible, a check will be mailed to you.
Notes:
- Any energy draft that is eligible to be converted into a check may be reduced by 50% or more.
- At time of filing if heat is included in rent it will be reduced by 50% according to the law.
