      Double charged, randomly. There is no legitimate reason you should double bill some months. Using a reason like no bill the 1st month or so you dont have to pay when you leave is beyond absurd. 99.% of people renting and paying utilities for a fact pay 1 water, 1 gas, 1 electricity etcand please dont use the excuse like other companies do this.who budgets and plans to pay double some months? Youve got to stop thisits not popular, its not cool and no reason makes sense. EX..double rent this month? Double mortgage this month? It doesnt happen and should NEVER HAPPEN !!! Your company is not wealthy or stable and the legal team is beyond below average. You will be sued again as you have been many times. Stop the horrible publicity and do the right thing, your morals and values as a company are junk. Stop the bleeding and try moving in the right direction.

      ******** - Unfortunately, I do not see that you have contacted directly in regards to your concerns. As a third party utility management and billing company, we simply bill you for any charges received from the local utility providers as they are received. 

      While we were calculating your September statement we received 2 bills from ************* utilities. They bill for water, sewer, electricity, and trash. You can find more information about multiple service periods at https://conservice.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409031467291-Understanding-Multiple-Service-Periods-Single-Family-Homes.

      I am receiving bills from conservice on behalf of FPI property management for utilities that are included in my rent. Also billing goes back to 3/22. My trash, cable, and sewer have always been included in my rent. I received a quarterly water bill averaging **** dollars. I have lived here for almost 8 years and FPI Management recently took over and are trying to bleed everyone dry!

      I have been living in ********* Apts for a year and 5 months. About 2 months ago I discovered they were basing my utility service on having 2 occupants in the apartment. I signed the lease with one occupant. Only 1 occupant has ever stayed here. I requested there help and an audit to refund my money. The stop communicating after 4 emails telling me they were going to do an audit and no further communication. I need my refund and correct billing going forth

      The apartment complex that I am living in has now started using conservice for water/sewer/garbage services. The original agreement was a flat fee service of 75$ a month for water/sewer/garbage. Now conservice is charging Sewer *****, water *****, and trash ***** monthly. The water and sewer fees are not based on my apartments usage, but the buildings usage. Our building has 8 units, and the average price is split between each apartment based on the number of people living in the apartment. I have 2 children that visit their dad, so they are not here 100% of the time especially during the Summer months. I do not agree that this is a fair portion to pay when there can be more people using water and sewer services in each of the other 7 apartments that I am paying for. So all in all I am getting charged for services I am not even using. Waste connection (trash) charges ***** every 2 months for garbage services for a single family home. This company is charging ***** each month. That is DOUBLE the price. I have a rental unit where the water service is charged by the county at 40$ every 2 months reflected on the electric bill, and conservice is charging 50+ dollars monthly. Quite honestly I feel this company is making thousands of dollars profit on the people living in this complex each month. These are not fair rates to charge for services, and this is not a fair market rate for what we have and what we use on a daily/monthly basis. Can this be looked into so that we are charged a fair rate for monthly water/sewer/garbage fees?

      ****** - Unfortunately, I do not see that you have contacted us directly with your questions and concerns. I can confirm that you are being billed per your lease renewal. 

      You are simply receiving your portion of the community's water and sewer charges based on the occupancy listed in the lease and the size of the apartment. The charges are calculated this way as this was the best option to allocate out the community's water and sewer charges as there is not a system available to measure each apartment's usage. 

      Your community receives bills for the water and sewer service. These charges are split in half. One half is used to calculate a charge per occupant and the other is used to calculate a charge per square foot. 

      Your community also receives bill for the trash service. These charges are divided among each apartment equally. Please feel free to reach out to us online at www.utilitiesinfo.com with any questions.

      Complaint: 17708332

      I am rejecting this response because: 

      #1 I have tried calling several times but disconnected the calls after a 45 minute wait time or the office was closed.  I work 40 hours a week. And do not have that time to sit on hold.

       

      #2 ************* uses Waste Connections garbage service they charge 52$ every 2 months for an average 4 person single family home. I am being charged 49$ each month. That 47% profit.   

       

      #3 Water & sewer for a single family of 3 in BG with a **** sq ft home pays 70$ monthy and that is with watering the yard.  I am getting charged 127$ monthly.  We drink bottled water only due to the water quality.  That again is amost 45% profit. 

      I don't know anyone that would agree paying an average rate over 8 different families is an accuate reflection of our consumption. We should never be charged for others consumption and usage.  

       

      These prices are not a refection of the services being used/consumed.  I can almost rationalize the garbage as it is picked up more frequently but the water and sewer charges are absolutely ridiculous.   If I had the option to not use Conservice, I wouldn't.  This is a newer service to the complex and no one I have talked to is happy about it either.

      Sincerely,

      *****************************

      ****** - Our customer service team can also be reached online at www.utilitiesinfo.com, Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM MST. 

      Apartment communities are not billed the same as single family homes. Many apartment communities are billed as commercial properties with commercial rates. 

      We simply take the total amounts billed to the property management by the utility providers and allocate the charges out to the residents based on occupancy and square footage. We are not measuring each apartment's individual usage. 

      The only fees we include on the monthly statements that is not a portion of the community's utilities is the service fee and rent. Please feel free to reach out to us online at www.utilitiesinfo.com with any further questions.

      Trying to make a payment with this company is almost impossible. The automated phone service has not worked since I unfortunately became a customer of their's three years ago. I am NOT signing up for auto pay as your site is full of complaints of Conservice stealing money out of peoples accounts. I finally cracked and made an online account after getting tired of spending a half hour on the phone every time I had to pay a $23 water bill. Apparently you CANNOT pay your bill over the phone anymore. Their only response is to send a check. To a company that steals money right out of their customers checking accounts? Just make it easy for you to keep my money and leave no paper trail? I would like to pay my bill but I've been hung up on by the rude indian named **** that apparently always answers the phone. Guess I just have to accept my credit score going in the toilet because I dont want to send a personal check that is most certainly not going to pay off my account? Thanks for letting Indians rob me?

      ********* - In reviewing your account, I see that you have submitted several payments through our automated payment line. We can confirm that it is working as normal. If you can provide any information about the issues you are experiencing specifically, we can look further into this. 

      You can make one-time payments on our website without signing up for auto pay. You can also use any bill pay options offered by your bank to submit a one-time payment if you do not wish to mail in a check.

      To ensure absolute security we are no longer processing payments over the phone with a customer service representative. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. We do not report payment history to any credit bureaus. Please feel free to reach out to us online at www.utilitiesinfo.com with any questions.

      I live in a rental home through Progress Residential. I opened a ticket with their utility billing vendor Conservice to have them shut off trash collections. I explained that I already opened a trash collection account under my name directly. Instead of doing this, they opened another new account for the house under their name and had more bins sent to my house. So now I'm paying twice for trash collection and I have two sets of bins. I tried replying to ********************************* at Conservice's email and have received no response (twice). I tried calling and the phone just goes to voicemail...and the voicemail box is full. I thought about it and *maybe* there is some reason they "have to" set up trash service for me, instead of me doing it myself. But it would be nice if they could just SAY SO, instead of ignoring me. I told them in the first place that I already set up service...and then they set up MORE service and will be charging me for it. And now with the non-existent customer service.

      **** - You can reach our customer service team at ************ or via chat at www.utilitiesinfo.com Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM MST. 

      Our trash team representatives do not handle general customer service questions. They simply process any trash requests submitted online. This includes bin orders, missed pickups, bulk pickups, etc. I'm sorry for any confusion. 

      Per your lease agreement, the water, sewer, and trash should remain in Progress Residential's name and will be billed along with your rent. I advise cancelling any trash service you have set ** in your own name to avoid being charged twice for trash.

      Our apartment complex uses Conservice's service for water/sewer. They issued my last statement on 07/21/2022, and expected a due by 08/01/2022. I did not receive any email notification saying I was late. They charged me $10 because I paid on 08/08/2022. This company is using this as an excuse to scam money.

      Business Response

      Date: 08/10/2022

      Haofan - I'm happy to see that you resolved this with our customer service team. Your account now has a credit of -$10 which will be applied to your future charges. 

      To clarify, it is best to make payments prior to or on the due date to avoid late fees. We do offer a 3-day grace ****** after the due date before any late fees are charged. Please feel free to reach out to us online at www.utilitiesinfo.com with any questions.

      I discovered that I was being billed utilities for 2 tenants when actually I was the only tenant in the residence and the only tenant on the lease. I have contacted them on 5 separate occasions to determine the status of my request for the matter to be looked into and to be refunded the amount I have overpaid for the last 12 months. I have provided my lease to them as well. They keep telling me I will have a response via email in 3-5 days. It has been 2 weeks and every time I contact them for an update, it's the same answer. I feel taken advantage of and that I have been overbilled for 12 months and am frustrated that I had to discover that myself. They have taken more money from me than necessary for the last year and I'm sure they are doing this to more people who probably do not know.
