    Complaint Type:
    Billing Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    The bill I believe was from 2013 my previous address. I had to put electric in my name because the current account holder moved out. I was informed of an old bill, but it wasn't being collected on since 2015. So, they went ahead with my new account and charged a $220 security deposit. I was already looking at a lot of money with a security deposit and whatever my first bill was going to be. Then suddenly my bill ballooned to $1,178. I contacted them and they said that your old account auto merged with your new account. I said that can't be right. They said it would be looked at next thing I know I have a disconnection notice and they are demanding it all in 2 weeks. I have already applied to be put on **** and ********* **** for help, but they generally don't help with old bills. I think the statute of limitations should be in play here These utility companies seem to be able to do whatever they want.

    Ohio Edison conducts business like a scam risk seeking to get reconnection fees from clients. I started new service at a new address. I never received a bill in the mail as requested. One of the genius representatives enrolled me in online billing instead. So, instead of receiving a paper bill, I received a disconnection notice stuck in my door. I paid the bill and I called about the missing bill and then requested another paper bill again, but to no avail. Another genius rep. failed to get this rightno bill, but this time, *********************************************************************************** other words, the missing bill was due April 16fh and the service was disconnected the morning of April 17thno phone call, email, or notice. Its a scam an 0 accountability on Ohio Edisons part. i called and waited for a return phone call for 3 hours on the 17th and again for over an hour wait to speak to ******. She was the worst one yet with her condescending and unaccountable tone. This companys kd and consumers need more **** e i. this marketplace. Hence the reason they think they can treat customers any way they choose. Disappointed & Frustrated
