I submitted a complaint on or about 24 Jan 2016 re Eversource and the tree removal experience. We have since resolved the matter and I wanted to let you know so you don’t expend any further effort on it. Once I got to the right person, Eversource did a great job following...
A review of our records show that a disconnect notice was mailed to the customer on May 4, 2015. There is no indication that the mailed notice was returned as undeliverable by the [redacted]...
[redacted]. Security deposits are collected from residential customers who have been disconnected for non-payment. The security deposit is refunded after 12 months, providing the customer makes their monthly payments by the requested due date.
We are a business that owns shopping centers. We have a large empty space using no gas from Eversource. We are paying a $2300.00 every month and a zero meter read as we have everything shut down. After two phone calls to Eversource they said they have the right to bill that based on a 12 month period. How can they bill a 12 month period of zero. If you are not using any gas you should just pay a minimum. They said as long as gas is in the pipes they bill. Does not matter if you use it. That is crazy. How can we keep paying a bill with no usage without someone paying us rent. They said even when we finally start using gas we get no credits. Sounds like scam to me.
After a review, the account shows the commercial customer does not have any referenced business accounts under the...
exact same name with 12 months of good payment history, in order to waive the electric deposit. The customer is conducting a business similar to the previous customer, therefore a deposit is required. The amount of the security deposit is calculated based on the two highest consecutive bills from the past year. The average from those two months is then recalculated for a 45 day period. The deposit is held until the customer establishes 12 consecutive months of good payment history (no late payments). Accrued interest is automatically applied to the customer’s standard billing account annually in January @ 1.5% interest.
We would be happy to set a payment arrangement for the customer to assist with paying the security deposit of $2,010.00. We can offer the customer 3 equal installment payments of $670. The 1st installment of $670 is required up front and the next two installments would be due 30 days apart. If the customer agrees and would like to enroll on the payment arrangement, please call our Credit and Collections Department at ###-###-####. Representatives are available Monday- Friday from 7:00 A.M to 7:00 P.M.
A review of the customer’s account shows a Supervisor in our Customer Service Department has spoken with the customer and resolved the concerns as of today 11/16/15 (10:05 AM). A late payment charge of $1.60 plus...
the returned payment fee of $22 has been removed from the customer’s account. The customer is not enrolled for automatic payments at this time.
Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for allowing the opportunity to respond to Benjamin [redacted]’s complaint regarding his bankruptcy filing. The information on the account from June indicate there were promises to pay that were not upheld by the customer. On August...
23, 2016, Mr. [redacted] was given another exemption while the claim of bankruptcy was reviewed and later that day Eversource contacted the household asking for the customer of record to call Eversource. Mr. [redacted] did not return the call and collection activities proceeded on August 25, 2016. Mr. [redacted] has spoken with our legal collection department regarding the bankruptcy and has been advised to contact his attorney regarding this matter.
The customer has since made a down payment, arranged a payment plan and the service has been restored.
If I can be of additional service, please call me at [redacted]

$784.63. We have no record of any return mail from the postal service and no record of a payment agreement established on the customer’s account prior to the termination date of 07/14/2015. The due date of 07/17/15 on the customers 06/19/15 billing statement is for the current charges of $303.38.
In the event a customer’s service is turned off for non-payment and they do not have verification of hardship, we require the customer to pay a security deposit and the delinquent balance to have their service restored.
The amount of the security deposit is calculated based on the two highest consecutive bills from the past year. The average from those two months is then recalculated for a 45 day period. The deposit is held until the customer establishes 12 consecutive months of good payment history (no late payments). Accrued interest is automatically applied to the customer’s standard billing account annually in January @ 1.5% interest.
Our records indicate a reconnection request was made for the customer’s service address therefore service was reconnected on 07/16/15.

A review of the customer’s account shows the deposit of $425 was waived on 06/24/15 as a result of the customer’s recurring direct debit enrollment on 06/23/15. Since the deposit was waived, the customer’s payment...
of $141.66 payment was applied to the customer’s monthly charges therefore no refund is applicable. Monthly payments will automatically be deducted from the customer’s checking account 21 calendar days after the date of the customer’s bill.
Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
Date Sent: 3/19/2015 9:36:42 PM Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:
Obviously there is an issue because the tech has been in my house three times monitoring my television and microwave which both do not work when any other electrical appliance running. I haven't called to complain because I'm sick and tired aggravated and annoyed. But if they speak with [redacted] who has been here then they will know. And to prove my point I can call your office to indicate that the problem has not been resolved. Maybe one of you can come to my house and see what the issue is and maybe you can fix it. It's been over a year and I'm tired of making phone calls. At this point my complaint is that I would like to be reimbursed for 50% of my bills for each month that I've been inconvenienced. Because I pay my bill on time for service which I am not receiving at 100%. So I believe it's only reasonable for anyone to understand that if I'm complianing to the Revdex.com is because I am very dissatisfied with this whole situation. No one lives it everyday like my family and I. And at this point it appears to me that no one cares. I have been a lifelong customer and have always paid my bill on time. It would be obvious that if I pay for service I should get service. Not interrupted service. It has been more than a year now. And not to mention I had to make over 20 calls or more to get [redacted] to come out to my residence because they kept telling me it was my panel. If I had the knowledge to handle the problem myself I would. But that is not the case. Again. No one but [redacted] know what goes on in my house because he has been here and had witnessed the problem. I cant even watch tv or use my microwave. I have had my washer repaired once and my dryer twice. And at this point I blame the repairs to the electrical problem. This is a fairly new home built in 1999. It's not reasonable to have problems like this. Again if anyone would like to come to my home at any time they're more than welcome !!!! I would not be filing this complaint if there wasn't a problem. It's totally unreasonable. And I think it's kinda ridiculous that [redacted] is expecting me to settle for at this point a $25 dollar credit to my account. That's a what I can "a slap in the face". Totally unreasonable for all my troubles for the last year. Sincerely, [redacted]
A review of the account shows the customer is on a payment agreement for $165/month (due on the 8th of every month) until October 2016. The customer is going to receive monthly billing statements to...

After a review of the account, the account shows a termination notice was sent to your service address on 11/27/15. The termination notice was for the...
amount of $514.52 due by 12/13/15 to avoid a termination. We have no record of any return mail from the postal service and no record of a payment agreement established on the account prior to the termination date of 12/22/15.
In the event service is turned off for non-payment and you do not have verification of hardship, we require you to pay a security deposit and the delinquent balance to have service restored.

Accrued interest is automatically applied to the standard billing account annually in January @ 1.5% interest.
As a one-time courtesy (per our conversation today), the $580 security deposit payment has been applied (credited) to your monthly billing account and will be used towards any future charges incurred. The $100.96 reconnection fee has also been waived. A new bill was generated today (12/23/15) for $203.45 (for electricity usage from 11/25/15 to 12/22/15) of which was deducted from the $580 security deposit credit therefore the remaining credit balance on the account is $376.55. In the future, if you are unable to make full payment on your account, please call our Credit and Collection Center to discuss payment arrangement options to avoid a termination of service.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you this holiday season.
