The last one I received was for February 2024 and I paid it in March 2024 I have called numerous times since May of 2024 and was told I would be getting a bill in a few weeks. I received an email in November 2024 about the billing system update impacting customers and that a bill would be sent out ****. We are now going on 2 months from then and I still do not have an bill. However I am getting emails weekly about my usage? but nothing about my bill.Business Response

I have been a new **** customer since June 2024. It is now January 2025 and I have yet to get a bill from ****. I have called them numerous time about not having a bill for seven months. They have told me its because we have a new system. Meanwhile, all my neighbors, friends and family are getting their bill on time.. as I sit here and wait untilwhen they do decide to send me a bill I will be backed up for 12 months of accumulated bills I have also beentold that I could be put on a payment plan but being put on a payment plan not only would it be a lump sum but the upcoming bills will be coming as well. I am so frustrated that for seven months I cant get a bill from ****. I tried speaking to a supervisor. I was told that Icant speak to a supervisor because they will give me the same information. I dont understand ,Why can I get a monthly bill from my electrical company so I can do my civil duty and pay it on time. Never in my entire life have I heard of a customer begging a ********************** to send them a bill. I have attached a photo of a bill that I received in January 2025 for June and July, meanwhile I do not have August September October November, December, and this current January bill.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: This has been an issue now since November and have been getting the same response from everyone that they know there is an issue and they are working on it. Just last Thursday I was told by **** that they are aware of an issue. But I keep getting text messages for a higher amount. It is currently up too ****** a jump from last month of ******. I still have no access to any of my history or bill. How long is this going to take to fix my account?

Due to a power outage that occurred from 12/28/24 to 12/29/24, I had to discard all food in my refrigerator, following the guidelines of the **** to throw away items. The outage occurred at the *********************** and according to ************** correspondence, was "due to a fuse outage on *************, caused by ****." This was not a planned outage or the result of a storm or weather event. **** has wrongly denied my claim for reimbursement for damaged goods - namely spoiled groceries in the amount of $250. According to the ************** of my apartment building, the Isle, the outage occurred due to a fuse outage on *************, caused by ****. The ************** informed me specifically that **** overloaded a box on Cotton street and blew a fuse which terminated service at my apartment building, ********. This event was the fault of ****, and does not represent an event covered by the limitation of liability for service interruptions that you outline in 12.1 of the **** Energy Electric Service Tariff. In particular, this outage caused by **** was within the Company's control.****'s customer handbook, on Pg. 22, notes that customers have the right to "Receive continuous utility service if you meet your responsibilities." I am very disappointed in ****'s decision and the poor customer service resolution that I have received, especially as a paying customer of **** who always pays on-time and meets my responsibilities. **** should provide reimbursement for damages to my spoiled food as a result of the outage caused by ****. I would also like to request any information, reports, or documentation on the power outage incident associated with this claim so that I may decide how to proceed further with this matter. As of 1/8/2025, **** has not responded to my dispute claim. I intend to continue disputing this matter through the **************************************, as neccessary.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: as noted and later corrected by the business, I was not contacted by Claims Manager *** *****. Instead, I was contacted by Mr. ** ******* on 1/17/25 via phone. Mr. ******* was rude and did not address my concern that the outage was caused by ****. The "delay in restoral" is not addressing the root cause of the issue, which was that **** blew a fuse and caused the outage (supported by correspondence with my apartment building, The Isle.) According to their website, "In some cases, **** is able to provide reimbursement for food loss and other damages due to an outage." (This is how **** represents itself, with a limitation that they are not responsible for "factors beyond their control." According to correspondence with my *************** the outage was "due to a fuse outage on *************, caused by ****. They added that **** overloaded a box on Cotton street and blew a fuse which terminated service at my apartment building. This event was the fault of ****, and does not represent an event covered by the limitation of liability for service interruptions outlined in 12.1 of the **** Energy Electric Service Tariff. Instead, this outage was within the Company's control.**** should provide reimbursement in the amount of $150 in accordance with the original damage claim.

During 2024 and into 2025 **** has misapplied various payments made to them across multiple accounts, they have transferred account balances without any notice or guidance on why or where these transfers have come from, they have also applied our payments to the wrong accounts that aren't even in our name and then threatened shut offs and they have charged us late fees every time. They have cost our company countless hours of correspondence/phone calls/accounting errors and discrepancies that we have had to waste fixing their errors and have been held hostage on making incorrect payments because they refuse to help correct things timely and threaten shut-offs due to their own mismanagement of funds. We can't be the only company that is being treated this way and I know others must have the same resentment. They should be held accountable since they have a monopoly on the delivery and collection process. Any payments we have made to them for late fees in the last 13 months should be refunded to us at this point. They are unprofessional, disorganized, and an absolute embarrassment.Business Response
