If they don't play nice after the PUC makes their decision I'll have to hire a lawyer probably
Hopefully after all is said and done there will be a note on my file that says "he's not screwing around" or something.
If they don't abide by what the commission determines then wouldn't the commission go after them themselves with fines and whatnot
The commission will most likely just rule that I don't owe x amount and not say anything about late fees deposits etc
But the fees are caused directly by those amounts being owed
Then the utllilitu will not remove any of those and try to make me pay as much as possible and I will have to open another complaint
Right exactly but like I said, will have to twist their arm.
I provided them with a copy of the sale note for the property and I still had to go to the commission to force them to keep my electric on and dispute that amount.
They do not care about logic. They are a monopoly and I cannot just go somewhere else so they don't care.
There are no other electricity suppliers at all?
That's so odd to me, there are quite a few to choose between where I am
I can pick a new supplier but this one company owns the I frastrucure
Infrastructure
They were the only supplier for a very long time then a few years back some deal they had expired and competitors were allowed to enter the market. But the original monopoly still delivers all of the electricity even if you choose another supplier
When you become a PECO customer, you initially pay PECO for all of these services -- generation, transmission, and distribution. If you are purchasing the electricity you use from a competitive electric generation supplier, you would pay PECO for distribution.
Besides those other companies are even more shady. They send people door to door claiming to be from their current electric supplier (Peco) and try to trick people in to switching. They often ask for a copy of your recent bill to "make sure you received a discount". In actuality they want to get your account info so they can switch you without your knowledge.
I know that probably sounds paranoid or exaderated, but it's the complete truth. It's well known to happen in my area now.
Isn't that illegal?
Yes very
Ring (as in ring video doorbell) has an app that lets you post stuff from your ring doorbell. Someone posted a clip of those people walking up, the lady points at the ring, shakes her head and they leave.
That's why they don't want to be recorded.
Why aren't they facing a class action lawsuit >.<
Well to face a class action lawsuit a law firm would have to take interest. They are only going to do that if they see a big payday. There has to be damages etc.
I think it would be more a criminal matter than a civil one
I can see the people they switch getting charged more ending up in civil court though
Well it's hard to say. They may not charge more
I'll bet very few people that they switch realize it
I'm not sure if the criminal court can award those kinds of damages? My understanding of the American legal system was that the criminal side wouldn't deal much with the compensation part of it
I could be completely wrong
Just saw this on Neighbors:
https://neighbors.ring.com/n/Erdr5
No you're right they wouldn't deal with compensation, though they can order defendants to make restitutiin
Watch that video it shows what I am talking about.
I think I know what you mean, I saw a video of one of them where some Jehovah's witnesses (or similar) came to the door, saw the sign that said no solicitors, looked sad, and walked off.
These people are specifically talking about the ring doorbell and that it records them and to be careful.
Shows cctv has its uses
Yep
I'm going to be installing a lot of cameras here soon
Gonna cost a lot, you might need to pay an on going cost of online storage as well
Yeah it is going to cost a lot
I could get them from my cable company but I think I prefer to make my own
