Duke Energy

I know Monroe and West Middletown have different electric companies,but is there any possible way at all that Middletown can get rid of Duke Energy?

I would go into a lot of detail about how they screw and continue to screw people over,but I'm sure most everybody around here knows how they are about wanting to raise the prices and how they don't even read the meters or even leave notes saying they were at your house.But is there any way Middletown can go and bring in a different electric company that has some sense about what they're doing?

The utility companies around here love to take advantage of people and situations. Where my step-dad's dad lives in NC,Duke wanted to raise their prices after they had a drought down there.The whole county got together and told Duke they were not going for it and Duke didn't raise them.And that's Duke's home state. We need to take a stand against them here since they want to raise prices after that wind storm that none of us had anything to do with.

And if I heard right,Duke also wants to charge us for street light usage?

Well,the street lights can be taken care of with no problem.lol BB Guns work.lol I don't need my light.lol

But seriously,we had a meter reader come to our house a couple of weeks ago,and of course he had to be called to come read the meter because he didn't show up the day he was supposed to show.We needed our electric meter read,and I'm pretty sure he was told that from the office,or maybe the office was too stupid to tell him.Take a guess.You'll be right either way. Anyways,he shows up and tells my mom he's here to read the gas meter.My mom had to tell him it was the electric meter that needed read.Regardless of what the guy was told,don't ya think he would just read both meters since it is his job? Or do they have two different types of meter readers? If they do,both sets of meter readers suck because they neither one do their job.

God,I could go on forever with what Duke has done to us.I might end up letting it all out sooner or later.We did just get done paying over $3,500 for an electric bill.And it wasn't our fault.We thought we were caught up.

Well,I heard we have that option,but they're just like those cable trucks that work for the bigger guys.They hook up the cable,but they're hooking up TW and Direct TV. So basically,while we're talking to the new electric companies,they're still using Duke Energy.

My mom works at a store close by here and talks to her customers.She was talking to one about our Duke problem.The lady she was talking to has a breathing machine that helps her out.And from what I understand,the electric companies are not allowed to shut off your electricity if you're on one and for other reasons as well.Well,she told my mom that they came to her house one day to shut it off.She came to the door,with the machine attached mind you,and they told her she had a day or two to get a doctor's note saying she was on one or they were going to shut her's off.They didn't even give her time to do that.They were back the next day and shut her off.It's almost as if they don't have any sense as to what the rules are for that kind of stuff.

I think Middletown should just get Duke out of here altogether.Send them packing and bring in someone else.

My gf seen on a consumer affairs report that Duke has 25 pages of complaints against them from 5 different states.Most coming from Ohio.

Who do you get in touch with about getting Duke out of Middletown?
