When complaint is made to the commission concerning any rate, fare, toll, rental or charge made by any public service corporation, and the commission finds, after investigation, that the corporation has made an excessive or discriminatory charge, the commission may order that the corporation make reparation to the complainant with interest at the legal rate from the date of collection, if no discrimination will result from such reparation. If the corporation does not comply with the order for payment of reparation within the time specified in the order, an action may be brought to recover the amount thereof.
B. All complaints concerning excessive or discriminatory charges shall be filed with the commission within two years from the time the cause of action accrues, and the action to enforce the order shall be brought within one year from the date of the order of the commission.
