      Below 1! My bill is paid to date and I owe nothing extra. My account number was off and they now tell me I have to go in person and pay cash. I am a disabled senior citizen. They cut off your power in 90 days. So if I die please know that Duke energy killed me.

      I have been a customer with ********************** for over ******************************************************** with a $625 deposit on a bill because we pay in 45 day cycles. Not a single phone call or conversation or letter about the deposit or there was an issue with our account.

      Our power at our business has been out for 5 days and **** will not connect it back. It says it needs an engineer to look at the hook up but a contractor sat in parking lot in the car for 1 hour doing nothing. The hook up is a pain as there are some trees and he just didnt want to do it. Now our business has suffered and Dule lied to us about the issues and then a supervisor admitted they messed up by not reconnecting it. ************************* needs to check on this.

      I was on a quarterly budget. I paid what they said I owed but they canceled my budget charge me for the month plus the budget plus a year end settlement because they said I broke my payment arrangement but I did not and when I asked them for an email so I could send them the verification and proof they told me they weren't giving me one. So I got charged $1,300 it's absolutely ridiculous and this isn't the first time they've done it plus on top of that they lost my deposit$600 because they said they have new systems they changed over and they can't locate where I moved from I gave them an address and they said that I never lived there but yet I did they said my uncle never owned it but he did so I'm just out $600 deposit they said they looked for it but it took them half a day to send me an email that said they couldn't find it and that was all I got all I can say this company is wow what a bunch of c***

      If I can leave no stars I would, **** made a payment arrangement with me on a old account that I had before I purchased my home. I made the first payment and they cancelled the arrangement and transfered the old account to my new home of $168.52 and told me there was no arrangement and if I wanted one . I needed to pay $85 and then the final payment by the 23rd and today is the 10th....huhh...for that I'll just pay the entire balance....Their rates are to high...and don't ever ask for a payment arrangement...They erase notes off the account...Horrible

      I've had duke energy since ******************************************************************************** ************ lost my payment.I called duke energy and payed the payment with my debit card . They told me they were putting a late charge on my bill .I ask them to remove it but the snarky b**** on the phone said we're not doing that and refused to let me speak to some one higher up . It's just corporate greed. And then the son of a britches have the nerve to ask you to add extra money with your bill to help someone else to pay there's . DON'T FALL FOR IT . You got to known the greedy corporate b******* are putting the money in there pockets and laughing all the way to the bank . I just would love to see them pack there s*** up and get the h*** out of ************* and bring Florida Power and Light here .**** on duke energy .
