I do think there is a conspiracy for companies to get rich off of having us pay fees and making their customer service so bad that you don't bother fighting it. That’s why they do it, Dave.

There were other circumstances which also caused their story to fall apart, and I capitalized on this in my communication to PSC. However, what pisses me off is that I have a pretty extensive background in handling problems like this; the other people they pulled this shit on probably just paid so their power could be turned on.

That's crazy. They informed me that “someone unknown” had “illegally” used power in the house, and I would be surcharged a rather significant amount.

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:00:11 +0000 http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=31024#comment-158636 I just had a 'to-do' with Delmarva regarding electric meter readings. I was turning the power on in a house recently, since frost and freezing is approaching. They informed me that "someone unknown" had "illegally" used power in the house, and I would be surcharged a rather significant amount. I invited the Public Service Commission into the debate between Delmarva and me. All of a sudden, the "illegal" usage turned into an understandable mistake in reading the meter on their part and all the surcharge disappeared. Maybe I won, but they still have an odor of festering rot. I just had a ‘to-do’ with Delmarva regarding electric meter readings.
