If they don't play nice after the PUC makes their decision I'll have to hire a lawyer probably

2019-03-22 00:29:10 UTC  

Hopefully after all is said and done there will be a note on my file that says "he's not screwing around" or something.

2019-03-22 00:29:16 UTC  

If they don't abide by what the commission determines then wouldn't the commission go after them themselves with fines and whatnot

2019-03-22 00:29:57 UTC  

The commission will most likely just rule that I don't owe x amount and not say anything about late fees deposits etc

2019-03-22 00:30:29 UTC  

But the fees are caused directly by those amounts being owed

2019-03-22 00:30:41 UTC  

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

2019-03-22 00:31:02 UTC  

Right exactly but like I said, will have to twist their arm.

2019-03-22 00:31:40 UTC  

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.

2019-03-22 00:32:19 UTC  

They do not care about logic. They are a monopoly and I cannot just go somewhere else so they don't care.

2019-03-22 00:33:22 UTC  

There are no other electricity suppliers at all?

2019-03-22 00:35:24 UTC  

That's so odd to me, there are quite a few to choose between where I am

2019-03-22 00:37:24 UTC  

I can pick a new supplier but this one company owns the I frastrucure

2019-03-22 00:37:32 UTC  

Infrastructure

2019-03-22 00:38:33 UTC  

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

2019-03-22 00:40:07 UTC  

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.

2019-03-22 00:42:24 UTC  

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.

2019-03-22 00:45:08 UTC  

I know that probably sounds paranoid or exaderated, but it's the complete truth. It's well known to happen in my area now.

2019-03-22 00:46:52 UTC  

Isn't that illegal?

2019-03-22 00:47:51 UTC  

Yes very

2019-03-22 00:49:10 UTC  

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.

2019-03-22 00:49:19 UTC  

They know what they are doing is illegal

2019-03-22 00:49:42 UTC  

That's why they don't want to be recorded.

2019-03-22 00:50:31 UTC  

Why aren't they facing a class action lawsuit >.<

2019-03-22 00:51:45 UTC  

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.

2019-03-22 00:52:00 UTC  

I think it would be more a criminal matter than a civil one

2019-03-22 00:52:41 UTC  

I can see the people they switch getting charged more ending up in civil court though

2019-03-22 00:53:20 UTC  

Well it's hard to say. They may not charge more

2019-03-22 00:53:55 UTC  

I'll bet very few people that they switch realize it

2019-03-22 00:54:10 UTC  

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

2019-03-22 00:54:49 UTC  

I could be completely wrong

2019-03-22 00:55:50 UTC  

Just saw this on Neighbors:
https://neighbors.ring.com/n/Erdr5

2019-03-22 00:56:24 UTC  

No you're right they wouldn't deal with compensation, though they can order defendants to make restitutiin

2019-03-22 00:56:40 UTC  

Watch that video it shows what I am talking about.

2019-03-22 00:58:30 UTC  

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.

2019-03-22 00:59:21 UTC  

These people are specifically talking about the ring doorbell and that it records them and to be careful.

2019-03-22 01:01:06 UTC  

Shows cctv has its uses

2019-03-22 01:01:17 UTC  

Yep

2019-03-22 01:01:27 UTC  

I'm going to be installing a lot of cameras here soon

2019-03-22 01:02:29 UTC  

Gonna cost a lot, you might need to pay an on going cost of online storage as well

2019-03-22 01:02:46 UTC  

Yeah it is going to cost a lot

2019-03-22 01:03:04 UTC  

I could get them from my cable company but I think I prefer to make my own
