    Complaint Type:
    Customer Service Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I contacted Huntsville Utilites on 06/19/23 and completed the moving process for my utility account. As of 08/03/23, the only communication I have received from this company, are the attached documents and emails confirming my account is active and the move transaction is complete. Today, I called this company and spoke to *** who advised me that they do not have an account for me at this address and I will need to complete a new application for them to process my request. This company is saying the only way service can be in my name, is if I pay them two separate fees for this "new" account. I was told everyone has to pay these, and it doesn't matter who you are, everyone does it. I requested to speak to a supervisor and requested a supervisor name. *** told me she does not know who the supervisors are, but that when I'm ready to complete my application, that I can call back, as long as I have my banking information for them, so they can charge me 2 separate fees. I requested this to be reviewed and to waive these fees. I respectfully request Huntsville Utilites to complete the application as it was processed, completed and activated Online (see attachments) and waive any fees that are not fees for utility usage.

    Can charge anyone what ever they choose. Last two bills were between $45 and $58 then out of the blue $131. They responded I guess you used more wattage than the previous months. Im there 4 days a week and turn air down when I leave.? I guess it was my turn to get screwed by Huntsville Utilities. Look out!
