            I have on recording, this business coming on to my property to trim trees away from the power lines, which is all well and good. However, in doing so they damaged my property in an amount exceeding $3,000. Their response to the property damage they caused was to tell me its not that bad and is just cosmetic. They wanted the gentleman responsible for the damage to throw some concrete on it and make it look better. They refuse to involve insurance and I am now having to go after them to do the right thing. Any business that comes onto your land and damages any structure on said land should be willing to make it right. For this reason, Sawnee EMC partakes in questionable business practices that leave its clients wronged and uncompensated. What they have done is potentially illegal as well.

            Sawnee EMC ------- GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY company. I signed up for paperless billing, but it went to spam and I did not see the ****, nor the cut-off warning. I have never missed a payment. I came home from my teaching job on a Friday night. My garage door would not open because the power was shut off. I had no other way in my house. They charge $15 for a late fee .... another $60 for a disconnect fee and .... the worst part...They wanted $260 to turn it on after hours and on a weekend. It was a cold Friday night, so I waited until daylight.... where it was $125 to reconnect. Merciless and greedy! I wish I had an alternative electric company.
