A review of the account shows the customer’s total account balance is $2,587.92. The customer was previously on the New Start Program from 10/01/2015 to 02/11/2016 for $460.00 month.

01/19/2016 billing statement: $539.83 (usage from 12/15/15-01/19/16)
The customer made two payments of $460.00 on 11/05/15 and on 01/11/16 totaling $920.00. For each payment of the $460, Eversource deducted $178.14 from the customer’s balance of which is the total monthly forgiveness amount as long as the customer makes a payment. Therefore a total of $356.28 was forgiven ($178 x2).
On 02/12/16, due to the delinquent balance (60 days past due) the customer was removed from the New Start Program and reverted back to normal billing. At the time of removal from the program, the customers balance was $2466.99. Since the removal of New Start, the customer has accrued $1494.05 in monthly charges and $76.91 in late payment charges. Please find the breakdown below:

04/15/2016: $437.92 (usage from 03/16/16-04/15/16)
The customer paid a total of $1450.00 ($460 on 03/23/16, $490 on 04/14/16 and $500 on 05/03/16) therefore the customer’s balance to date is $2587.92.

PRIOR TO DISCUSSING WHETHER OR NOT THE CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT IS ENTITLED TO A CREDIT, THE COMPANY NEEDS TO VERIFY THE ELECTRIC METER IS FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THAT UNIT.

Meters normally slow down or stop, if the customer feels that it is a faulty meter they need to order the meter test. A meter test cost is $20 and needs to be prepaid prior to the test with an application. If the meter is found to be faulty the $20 would be credited to their account or refunded. The customer can contact Customer Service at [redacted] to discuss a meter test. Eversource is not responsible for internal wiring or any potential issues internal.

I am rejecting this response because: eversource charged me $400 for ten days of service for gas usage that I hadn't been using. The landlord has already checked piping and everything is fine. I'm disputing the amount because no one can use $400 worth of gas in ten days. The electric bill isn't the problem, the gas bill is. Theyre overcharging customers because its winter and are trying to con customers with their over inflated rates. As a new customer I was told that I'd be getting a discount and would be charged less for the first year, then at the end of the year I'd have to decide if I wanted to keep the current rate. I've seen no such discount and in fact I've been charged very high rates from day one. As I didn't have hot water during the time of this billing cycle I feel that I'm entitled to a bill credit because if the heat stays at a temperature range of 65-68 degrees, and I had no hot water, how can I be charged $400 in town days? They claim to have actual readings but its obviously not accurate.
Sincerely,
Michelle Thompson

I am rejecting this response because:Good morning I am writing in regards to a previous compliant against Eversource (formerly [redacted]) # [redacted]. Eversource has not responded to a claim I submitted on May 22, 2015 via certified mail for an ongoing issue which was finally resolved on April 7, 2015. I would like to b reimburse for my out of pocket expenses as well as a credit to my bill detailed in my correspondence to them. I would greatly appreciate a response. I think it is totally unprofessional for my request to be ignored, especially since I was having a problem with my power since February 2014 - over a year ago. I do appreciate your assistance in this matter. Sincerely , [redacted]

Our records indicate that a notification regarding the security deposit of $1560 was mailed to the customer on 01/30/2017. Additionally, a termination notice was mailed on 02/24/17 informing the security deposit of $1560 was overdue. With no payment or payment arrangement on the account the service...
was disconnected. The security deposit will be returned with 24 months of good payment history.
The additional deposit that the customer is referencing was requested on 05/03/16 for a different service address in the amount of $575.00. The deposit was paid on 06/28/16 and will be returned with 24 months of good payment history.
The customers usage increased which resulted in the budget billing amount paid to be too low. The customer has been removed from budget billing and should contact Eversource to set up a winter payment arrangement at ###-###-#### or ###-###-#### Monday-Friday 7am-7pm.

[redacted] [redacted] [redacted] Hopefully, Eversource's correction of the start date my meter going back into my name indicates that Eversource reviewed my account, which is what I asked for; now that Eversource has corrected by billing, I need to a bill with my current balance sent to my address so I may know what I currently owe, as Eversource sent me a bill for an additional $26+, right after I paid the $94+ bill on July 3rd 2017. I always pay my bills in full and with a credit rating of 799, I cannot take a chance Eversource will negatively effect my hard work and commitment, especially now as I am seeking to move, so I need a physical bill - sent to my mailing address - showing the current balance of my account.
We’re sorry that you were not aware of the company name change. We made every attempt to notify our customers of the change. CL&P officially became Eversource on February 2, 2015 and communicated this change in an advertising campaign, our new one company website, and much more. Your...
February bill insert included a letter explaining the name change, as well as handy information that customers may need to reach us or pay their bill. On the outside of the envelope which contains the billing statement, as well as the envelope that contained the disconnect reminder notice it reads “CL&P is now Eversource”. A review of the customer's account shows a disconnect notice was mailed on April 1, 2015. After 12 months of good credit the deposit amount will be refunded or applied to the account.

I am rejecting this response because: No bill, or notice was received at either address. A utility should make a greater effort to inform there customers of power termination ,they could
use mail, phone,and e-mail. Loss of power is a major problem for a restaurant and should never happen,it is callous to shut off power without any attempt to notify a customer who has given them thousands of dollars.Sincerely,
