disconnected we will not be waiving the security deposit, however I would be willing to lower the deposit in ½ to $225.00. The customer is also eligible to set the deposit up on a 3 month payment agreement.

I have been contacted by [redacted] insurance company and they only want to part for part of the damage. I have an estimate for $1500, and the will only pay $815. So my property was damaged by your contractor, and I have to pay for damages out of my pocket?
Duke Energy is waiting for the customer to get an inspection done at the property before we can reinstall the meter. We have even called the inspectors office and they did not have any requests for an inspection for this property. Once we receive the inspection, Duke Energy will install the meter in...
Duke Energy spoke with the customer and removed the $350 security deposit. When the security deposit was removed on February 20, 2015, an additional security deposit was added on February 21, 2015. The customer is setup on a payment plan for the electric charges. ...
It was explained to the customer that to avoid any security deposit in the future, the account would need to be paid in full each month or avoid disconnect notices on the account. If an account is subject to disconnection three times in a 12 month timeframe, Duke Energy can charge a security deposit, even if the service has not been disconnected.

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.I am not satisfied with Duke's response. Clearly they are not acting as a company of high ethical standards. I have attached proof from there online website that my payment of $150.00 was posted on 1/20/2015. In addition, I have provided 2 copies of letters from my bank ([redacted]) that verifies they have spoken to Duke Energy and both letter confirm that my payment posted on 1/20/2015. Dukes response states that my payment posted on 1/21/2015, so that's the reason why I was disconnected. I'm not sure how Duke can still justify their reasoning on this matter.They still need to refund or credit my account with the after hours charge of $100.00 based on the facts that I have presented.By Duke's statements they said that a disconnect order was given on 1/20/2015. That should have never happed since my payment posted on 1/20/2015 as confirmed by 3 pieces of evidence. What's also disconcerning is how Duke can not acknowledge the facts because they same information that I have sent to Revdex.com is the same information that I faxed to Duke on Friday 2/6/2015. If this matter is not resolved swiftly then I will have to look at other options to recover my credits.Regards,[redacted]
Duke Energy has contacted [redacted] and was advised that [redacted]’s Claims Department is currently reviewing the customer’s concerns. Duke Energy Claims Department would not be involved in this case.

[redacted] to resolve this with the customer; in a manner they feel reasonable. Duke Energy would be unable to approve a claim that a contractor is currently investigating.
When Mr. [redacted] notified Duke Energy his meter continued to run after he shut off his breaker a Switched Meter investigation was launched.

The results of the investigation confirmed that his meter was switched with a neighbor. The usage, charges, meter number and meter readings displayed on Mr. [redacted]s account were that of the neighbor. The usage, charges, meter number and meter readings on the neighbor’s bill were that of Mr. [redacted]. Title 170 of the Indiana Administrative Code requires that, with the exception of slow or fast meters, all other billing adjustments be adjusted to the known date of error or for a period of one year. The switched meter condition has been reversed and the billing has been corrected. As a courtesy Duke Energy has exceeded the required adjustment period or Mr. Ballard.There is no code that requires the company provide Mr. [redacted] with the neighbors personal information specific to and including the account number, name and address on his neighbors account. As a part of Duke Energy’s commitment to our customer’s we will not provide our customer’s personal information to private individuals upon request. There are some exceptions and there are processes in place to accommodate such request. Providing customer account numbers to private individuals opens a myriad of potentially adverse possibilities. I respect Mr. [redacted] opinion but unfortunately Duke Energy will not provide the neighbors actual bill documents without a notarized letter of consent from his neighbor. I am able to provide a spread sheet detailing the Switched Meter billing correction for him to review. The spread sheet will show the billing and charges on the incorrect meter and the billing and charges on the correct meter. The result of the correction is the difference between the billing and charges on both meters. I have left a message for Mr. [redacted] to contact me. I look forward to addressing any additional questions or concerns he may have regarding his account. My contact information is listed below.[redacted]Consumer Affairs AssociateDuke Energy513.287.2072
