      I have been attempting to have this company's monthly invoice sent to XXXXX ****** in ************* AL since November 2021. On 24 NOVEMBER 2021 I contacted them, spoke with VICTORIA, about this matter. She asked me my account number, asked to confirm my driver license number, and said the change would be immediate. However, the invoices still come to my home here in New Mexico. On a number of occasions I have called, emailed, and sent correspondence to this Utility Company, making the request again and again. Yet still, I continue to receive these invoices, and those who physically oversee the house are unable to accurately pay the monthly bill, without traveling to the utility company itself. This is poor customer service. It shows a lack of respect for customer requests, and has been an inconvenience for over four months now. Thank you.

      Extremely poor customer service...bordering on rudeness... They do not have a system (with their NEW system) to have you verify your DL and *** without having to come to office, fax, or send in information via mail. Sending one's *** by mail is RISKY. They do not have a system, as many businesses do, where they send a code to your phone or email to verify your information for verification... I guess it saves them a bit of $$$. They cannot verify by you providing a/c #, address, phone # (that they have in the system and by which you are paying (and they are ACCEPTING) the bills/payments. You CANNOT send in information by EMAIL. May people cannot get to the office in person, have a fax (where information like *** is also at risk), or want to take the risk of putting the *** and DL# in a letter. The **************** person was borderline rude along with her supervisor. They merely parroted what they COULD not do and did not acknowledge that this is a problem and risk.
