an excuse that doesnt hold water

from a dbag who does

Okay, I broke down and called Potomac Edison to check on my bill. The very nice and polite lady who answered said we didn't send you a bill. I'm thinking, free electric, never gonna happen. We have been on the payment plan since we moved to WV in 1987. Apparently, since the merger, they have been having problems with this, people's bills are only to vary $10.00 or so a month, but it's been more, like $40 or $50 so they are trying to fix it. So I asked her if next month I'll get socked with a double bill. She didn't know the answer to that. She said I could pay something on my bill this month which I'm going to do because I'm not going to get socked with a huge bill next month. Now why couldn't they have posted something on their website or mailed something to the customers affected. I must admit the person I spoke with was very nice and friendly.

Potomic Edison is in the business of gouging it's customers. I received a bill due april 12 2013 for 831.35. I found out about it through my online checking account which I was floored. Apparently they missed a reading and due to UNDER estimating this bill covered costs that went back 6 damn months. No phone call no anything other then sorry sir but the money has allready cleared and there is nothing we can do about it. I am fed up with all the back handed undermining and borderline extortion that we as a citizen have to endure all because of greed and that all mighty dollar. I will be taking up the cause of bringing a class action lawsuit against this company as I have already spoken to many of my neighbors in regards to this Companies less then lawful and misleading ways. I am a disabled vet on a very fixed income and in the 20 plus years of living here I have never had a bill exceed the hi 300 dollar range EVER. As for Potomic Edison who is already having to explain themselves in court in the State of MD. may now ad another state to the mix, WV. and very very pissed off about this!
