Such information shall be the primary factor in decisions regarding satisfactory or unsatisfactory credit and deposit amounts. In the case of unknown credit, other credit information can be supplied by the applicant to be used by the utility to establish satisfactory credit for the applicant. The utility shall inform the applicant of the right to provide such information to establish satisfactory credit.
