Okay, I know the reason behind them.. but the way its ran is just scandalous.

Example:

Customer, due to their credit, gets setup on a $125 spending limit. The bill prints at the end of the cycle and the following day, (day 1 of new bill cycle) the recurring charges post to the account causing the service to be suspended for exceeding the spending limit.

If the customer comes back as a G or H, with a spending limit, they can in fact elect to pay a deposit and get their decision code switched to a C/125. It's that simple. As long as the customer fully understands the spending limit, it's usually no problem...
