      5-30-24 I was charged a $37 reconnection fee because the electric company didn’t send me any bills or explain to me that I was overdue or about to be disconnected. I didn’t receive a single notice, electronic or paper that my power would be shut off and now I am being charged a $160 security deposit because of this poorly managed predatory company. I want my security deposit back and I want the reconnection notice. If this is not resolved, I will have to take it into litigation. Thank you.

      Background:   *** ****** has had service at this address since 1/2/21.

       

      Recent Billing History

      6/13/24 - Bill for $239.26 due. Consists of $156.84 previous balance + $80.24 current charges + $2.18 late payment charge. This bill was mailed via **** on 5/20/24.

      5/28/24 - Final pay date on disconnect notice for $159.02. This notice was mailed via **** on 5/15/24.

      5/13/24 - Bill for $156.84 due. Consists of $80.39 previous balance + $72.45 current charges. This bill was mailed via **** on 4/18/24.

       

      Bills and disconnection notice was issued and mailed via ****. We did not receive any of these back as undeliverable.

       

      All customers are billed a reconnection fee when service is disconnected. We are unable to waive this fee. As a courtesy, since this is the first time *** ****** has been disconnected for non-payment we can make an exception and waive the security deposit that was billed as a one time courtesy. If service were to be disconnected again in the future, the deposit would be billed again and not waived.

       

      KU also offers various way to receive billing notifications electronically. Customers may receive text messages or email to notify them when their bill is issued, five days before it is due and one day after it is past due.

       

      PSC Regulations and Tariff:   KU PSC Sheet Number 95

       

      Resolution:  KU was unable to reach *** ****** to discuss his issue. If/When KU speaks with *** ******, we will explain our disconnection process and billing process. KU has issued a bill to *** ****** every month via ****. A disconnect notice was also issued via **** on 5/15/24 for the past due amount of $159.02 with a final pay date of 5/28/24. KU has not received any bills or disconnect notice back from **** as undeliverable. KU will explain that as a regulated utility, all aspects of our billing is outlined in our tariff. All customers that are disconnected for non-payment are billed a reconnection fee therefore it is not possible to waive or remove the charge. As a courtesy, KU will remove the $160.00 security deposit that was billed to *** ****** based on his history and this being the first time he has been disconnected for non-payment. If *** ****** were to be disconnected again in the future the security deposit would be billed again and would stand.

       

      KU will also review with *** ****** other notification options that are available to our customers. *** ****** can request to receive a text message or email advising when his bill is issued each month, five days before it is due and one day after it is past due. This is in addition to the monthly bills/notices that are mailed via ****.

       

      Attached is a copy of the letter that was mailed to *** ****** asking him to contact KU if he would like to discuss the matter further.

       

      KU will send a follow up to this response if we speak with *** ******.

      My KU (Kentucky Utilities) bill increased over $100.00 from last month & over $200.00 from last year. Last month's bill was $203.29 & this month's bill is $348.30. At the same time last year my bill was $152.89. My heat has been turned off for 3 weeks & I have not turned on any air conditioning! My husband & I are now retired & on a fixed income. We were not prepared for such an increase in our Utilities statement. When we contacted KU, we were told that due to our bill being estimated the last 3 months that we will now need to make $348.30 payment for June. My husband & I feel it is too much of a hardship on our budget. We need something done about this!!

      I have been a KU customer for a long time and have nearly a perfect billing history with them. Today my electric was shut off, this also happened about 2 months ago. I am enrolled in paperless billing and am not receiving any information about my bill electronically. The last email I received was over a year ago. I am now going to be charged a reconnection fee and a security deposit fee simply because I didn’t know my bill was due. I was at home when the electric was cut off and immediately called because I thought there was an outage only to find KU had disconnected my service. I paid immediately but they won’t be able to reconnect until much later today. This problem needs to be fixed. It’s a communication issue on KUs end and not a non payment issue. This is an ongoing problem and I should not have to pay for this mistake. I am now enrolled in text alerts (which I thought would have been a part of paperless billing). KU you can treat your customers much better than this. Two late bills in over 13 years and it’s an issue on KU’s communication end and the customer has to pay for it. I was also on hold with billing for over an hour to try to fix this issue and in the middle my call was cut off, only to be placed on another long hold. Please do not respond with “we mailed letters”. I know that one or possibly 2 letter were sent to my house (based on what customer service said) but I did not receive them in my mailbox. That may be a USPS issue but it still doesn’t account for why I don’t receive any bills electronically. I typically log onto to KU the 1st of month to pay any outstanding bills. Customer service said this works most of the time but bills aren’t always on the same day which explains why I didn’t see this bill. I would like a refund for the reconnection fee and security deposit that will now be applied to my account. I’ve missed hours of work, have no heat, and my food will be going bad soon.

      KU, taking advantage of being a monopoly and not having another option of an electric company, is charging late fees to my account after asking multiple times for waivers as well as notifying them ahead of time I’ll be paying two days later when I’m paid. . They tell me I’ve “already had one” which, in their terms and policies, does NOT state customers only have one waiver. They have no grace period after the payment date and this discriminates and takes advantage of low-income people as well as people who can’t pay on the date when they want their money. If I can’t pay on time due to my payday, why would a late fee make it any better? What good change would that make for the customer? Does KU not care about that? Then I’m told “we can’t waive late fees unless there’s an error made on the account by KU” which obviously is not true. A company as big as KU with surely advanced technology “doesn’t have the capability to waive fees”? I even GAVE NOTICE that I would be unable to pay for another TWO days and they still don’t help their customers or work with them. It’s absolutely pathetic and disgusting and no wonder people hate and distrust corporate companies because they get treated like shit. No one was willing to help and they only spewed customer service bs that they were trained to say.

      Resolution:

      2/1/24 ******* was able to reach *** ********** to discuss his concerns about a late fee not being waived on his account. *** ********** advised it was ridiculous that KU would not waive a $5.86 late fee and he was just two days late on his bill. ******* explained that the late fee is applied if the bill is not paid on the due date.  ******* advised *** ********** that he received a late payment waiver in December 2023 and was not eligible for another late payment waiver. ******* also explained to *** ********** that KU is mandated by the PSC and *** ********** stated customer service sent him a copy of the PSC sheet and it did not say that KU could not waive late fees. ******* tried to explain the meter reading schedule that customer service sent him, and he stated that KU should be able to read his meter when he requests so his bill won’t be paid late. *** ********** began to cuss and say that KU is a monopoly and does not care about the customers. ******* tried to apologize for his situation, but *** ********** did not want to discuss further and ended the phone call.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      KU is not honoring their loosely worded terms and conditions from the “rate sheet” they sent me. They’re really make this big of a deal over such a small amount. No where in their policies does it state more than 1 fee cannot be waived. I requested to SPEAK to a PSC rep, not a rate sheet, so she’s wrong. I have no other option in a utility company, so technically, I’m correct. And KU clearly does not care, nor do their employees, on working with their customers to come to a mutual understanding. Their (loose) word is law, apparently. Sure, ******* will word this to make me out to be worse, but I simply stated (not demanded) that meter readings should be convenient for both the company and the customer. Without the customer, KU would be nothing, yet they’re not willing to work with the customer? Yes, it’s all ridiculous. Once more, no where in the terms and policies does it state that ONLY 1 waiver is allowed. It says KU will waive 1 fee, not that there’s only 1. This could have been easily avoided, but here we are. Over $6!



      Sincerely,

      Blake Wethington

      Paid the light bill and had to set in the dark at night because most thought it was funny before they turn it back on

      We are unable to locate this customer in our records and do not believe KU is the provider for Mr. ********** electric service. KU has communicated with Mr. ******** by email and asked that he provide his KU account number so we can verify we are in fact his electric service provider and investigate his issue. Mr. ******** advised he would get this information to KU but has not provided any further communication to KU after several attempts. 
       
      If KU hears from Mr. ******** and can verify he is a customer of KU we will investigate his issue then send a follow up to this response.
