Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I was overcharged throughout last year approximately $300 dollars. This resulted in a positive credit. Part of the adjustment period Eversource is quoting is from 2015. I do not understand how the company can say they undercharged me when in fact I was overcharged.Also-in the usage graph they sent me, the usage was tripled in the month of September 2015. I do not turn the heat on until at least October. So-this is impossible my usage was this high. This was also the first month they started "adjusting".Finally-if I was in fact being undercharged most of last year, why has it taken this long to realize this was happening? It just doesn't make much sense. Furthermore-if the charges were too low throughout the year, why was it not adjusted monthly rather than waiting to charge a customer with an $800+ bill.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
A mobile (drive-by) meter reader drives down the street to collect the data from each meter within the meter reader’s route. The signal is captured from a couple hundred feet away. The [redacted] Department of Public Utilities requires Eversource to read customers meters once a month however Eversource is not required to provide monthly paper slips of the customers read as this information is shown on the customers monthly billing statements.
THERE ARE 2 WAYS TO ENROLL. 1. THE PAPER FORM, WHICH REQUIRES TO THE CUSTOMER TO FILL OUT, SIGN AND AUTHORIZE. 2. ONLINE ENROLLMENT, WHICH THE CUSTOMER SIGNS IN WITH THEIR USER ID AND ENTERS ALL INFORMATION NECESSARY. THIS ENROLLMENT WAS COMPLETED ONLINE.

I am rejecting this response because: The balance was not already removed from the account. Eversource removed the balance and account after the Revdex.com complaint and has...
essentially prevented me from accessing the [redacted] account. In addition, I would like a refund of what I paid for [redacted]t since Eversource deceived myself and the tenant into believing that service had to be transferred instead of disconnected despite being told by myself and the tenant that she was moving out. I would like all monies paid for gas supply/delivery to [redacted]

A review of the account, shows that service ended on 04/20/2017 with a balance of $641.99. The last bill for this account was date 04/21/2017 which was the final bill for the account, no other bills have generated to the customer from this account. The customer is responsible for the balance.
The notice was sent out on 06/15/2017 and was not returned to the company undeliverable. The security deposit will be refunded with 12 months of good payment history. There will be no credits or adjustments at this time.
AFTER REVIEW OF THE ACCOUNT YANKEE GAS HAS DETERMINED THE METER SITUATION AT THIS LOCATION REQUIRES FURTHER INVESTIGATION. A METER REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR 11/7/2014. THE METER WILL BE TESTED FOR ACCURACY AND THE RESULTS WILL BE SENT TO THE CUSTOMER VIA US MAIL. SHOULD THE RESULTS READ...
INACCURATE A COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE WILL CONTACT THE CUSTOMER TO DISCUSS NEXT STEPS. IF THE RESULTS READ ACCURATE THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHARGES ON THE ACCOUNT.
Eversource charges a customer service fee to all customers which will reflect on each billing statement. The customer service fee on the customer’s bill is $23.75. The customer service charge is the basic cost of providing service, such as metering, meter reading and billing. We are unable to waive...
the monthly fees. Eversource is mandated by the [redacted] who has approved the monthly charges.
After a review of the customer’s account, the meter readings are based on actual readings. The customer’s meter is read on a monthly basis thru a device inside the AMR meter (Automatic Meter Read) called an Encoded Receiver/Transmitter (ERT) which sends out a radio signal to capture the monthly meter reading. A mobile (drive-by) meter reader drives down the street to collect the radio read from the customer’s meter therefore access to the meter is not required. The readings are sent electronically to our computer system to determine the customer’s monthly bill.

I am rejecting this response because: The matter only got resolved after I had to borrow money...
to be able to pay for the past due amount. Without that amount being paid the electricity would still be off today risking my child's health. As it was, the house was without electricity for a few hours. Hours that with my son's health could've been detrimental. Not to mention how cold it was. All calls to the business were unhelpful and unsuccessful in getting the power back on. I hope that in the future there's some consideration for the health of my child and that power is not shut off indiscriminately. As I stated, I had been struggling to pay, but had made several payments. The electric company has the upper hand in that everyone needs electricity and cannot live without it, therefore they can do whatever they please. Irregardless of individual circumstances, even though they will always get their money.
Sincerely,

A review of the referenced service address shows there were 3 recent recorded power outages on 02/05/16, 02/16/16 and 02/25/16 all of which were tree related. Unfortunately the limbs/trees that caused the power outages are outside of Eversource tree trimming parameters. Although Eversource...
periodically trims around the lines providing electric service to your neighborhood, tree owners are also responsible for the maintenance of their trees including Town, State and private property owners.
Eversource performs maintenance vegetation management by circuit in accordance with specifications on a cyclic 4 year basis as required by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. During scheduled trimming, inspections are performed to identify risk trees posing a threat to the power lines and the trees are prioritized for removal. I am happy to share that Eversource has doubled its vegetation management efforts since 2011 which has resulted in a 40% improvement in reliability. Please be assured all work is performed in accordance with professional tree care industry standards and best practices.

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 up. Thank you!...
