    My child and I have been misplaced from our apartment for TWO months due to electrical issues. Kentucky Utilities has shown ZERO sense of urgency in restoring power for my unit. They scheduled an appointment today to come out and restore services. I waited all day and received no calls, texts, or updates. Nobody ever shows up after they told me that someone would be coming to restore my electric between the hours of 8 am-5 pm. I still have ZERO electric and customer service refuses to be helpful or rectify the situation.

    10-29-24 I was retaliated against by Kentucky Utilities for a earlier report to the BBB. Without notice or warning my electricity was cut off due to a past due balance of $82. Knowing that I report them and their shady unfair practices as a monopolized utility company I am being hand selected for my electric to be cut off, charged for reactiviation and charged a $160 deposit for being a “bad boy” and having these criminals cut off my electricity. I begged and pleaded with them to not steal more money from me but they laughed in my face and told me to find another electric company. If I wasnt a small time regular person like the person reading this I would take them to court but being the everyman I can’t take on a billion dollar evil monopoly. Retaliation for reporting someone is a massive no-no, however very consistent with their practices so I wouldn’t expect any less. Avoid moving to Kentucky becuae the Utility companies, KU in specific, will steal money from the working man for “terms” I NEVER agreed to and NEVER would have. I wouldnt have even moved to this state knowing the unbelievable lengths a billion dollar company will go to to steal from their customers. I am distraught and fee violated by KU and their employees.

    Background:   In the past twelve months this account has had 8 disconnect notices issued and 2 disconnects for non-payment.

     

    On 5/30/24, *** ****** filed a complaint with the BBB regarding his service being disconnected for non-payment on 5/30/24. When disconnected for non-payment, any KU customer that does not already have a security deposit on file, one is billed. After receiving *** ******'s complaint, KU waived the $160.00 security deposit as a one-time courtesy to work with him. KU was unable to reach *** ****** to discuss his complaint or discuss the fact the security deposit was being waived as courtesy. A letter was mailed to *** ****** asking him to contact KU if he would like to discuss his concerns further but did not receive any contact from *** ******.

     

    On 10/30/24, *** ******'s electric service was disconnected for non-payment again. After making a payment for $158.22, the service was reconnected. As part of KU's normal policy, a security deposit of $160.00 was billed to the account. This deposit was broken into six payments of $26.66 to begin being billed with his next month bill. This security deposit only held until the customer has twelve consecutive months of good pay history with KU, then it is credited back to the customer with interest. Each time there is a late payment, return, etc. the twelve months of holding the deposit is reset. If a customer does not have the twelve months of good history needed to refund the deposit, the interest is credited back to the account once  a year. If the customer stops service, the deposit is credited back to the account at that time.

     

    KU is unable to waive the security deposit again, so it must remain on the account. The $160.00 security deposit was broken down into six payments of $26.66 to be added to the monthly bill beginning on the December bill.

     

    Normal monthly bills and disconnection notice was mailed to *** ****** via USPS. None of the correspondence sent to *** ****** was returned to KU as undelivered.

     

    Recent Billing History

    10/15/24 - Bill for $183.09 due. Consists of $92.94 previous balance + $87.36 current charges + $2.79 late payment charge.

    10/29/24 - Final pay date for disconnection notice for $83.09.

    11/13/24 - Bill for $158.22 due. Consists of $83.09 previous balance +$75.13 current charges.

     

    Resolution:   KU was unable to reach *** ****** by phone to discuss his concerns. If/when KU speaks with *** ****** we will review our disconnection policy. KU will explain that a disconnect notice with a final pay date of 10/29/24 for the past due balance of $158.22. When this was not paid, the service was disconnected on 10/30/24. Once this past due amount was paid, the service was reconnected later that day.

     

    KU will advise *** ****** that he is not being singled out or experiencing any retaliation. This process is the same for all KU customers when service is disconnected for non-payment. When service is disconnected for non-payment and there is no security deposit being held, one is billed. This is a refundable security deposit. After having twelve consecutive months of good payment history with KU, the deposit is credited back to the customer account plus any interest accrued while we held the deposit.

     

    KU will explain that we have worked with him pointing out that in May 2024, when his service was disconnected KU waived the $160.00 security deposit as a one time courtesy. KU will explain this is why he is now being billed the security deposit since the service as disconnected again. This deposit is not required up front and has been broken into six payments of $26.66 to be added to his bill each month beginning with his December bill.

     

    Attached is a copy of the letter mailed to *** ******, advising him that if he would like to discuss his concerns he may contact us by phone.

     

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

    Issue:   Company shows $274.03 credit. Called last week and informed me that the would be in touch today. Tried calling today and was hug up on. Need help in getting resolution.

     

    Thank you

     

    Background:   For *** ********* bill due 9/17/2024. The $19 represents “non-energy charges” which cannot be offset by his energy credits.

     

    Below is a breakdown of the net meter billing charges:

     

    Energy Charges (can be offset by credits)

    $83.31 Energy Charge

    $1.35 Electric DSM

    $-3.22 Fuel Adjustment

    $81.44 Total Energy Charges ? able to be offset by generation credits

     

    Generation Credit (can be used to offset energy charges)

    $116.68 Energy Charge

     

    Therefore $81.44 of the excess generation credit will be used to offset energy charges and the remainder ($35.24) was added to *** ********* credit for the next month.

     

    Resolution:   The manager of KU's Net Metering Department responded to *** ******* via email on 10/22/24 addressing his billing questions. *** ********* bill was broken down and explained in detail.

     

    KU has not received any further follow up from *** ******* and assumes *** ********* questions have been answered. If *** ******* sends any further questions, KU will address those as well.

My mother is living with me and she is disabled on oxygen and dialysis. Please help me

    Please see the details and resolution of *** ********** issue below: 

    Issue:   Hi I have tried to work with KU they said they send the form to my doctor at 9:43 yesterday morning , after several calls to KU I am find no one will help KU waited for my service to go off at 9 am before they even dent the fax to my doctor, I was miss lead on who sends what, the rep at 7:30 told me the fax went thru and for me to call so he could watch the fax machine. He received the fax at 7:30 am this morning. So basically the rep laid just a cover so that they could turn off my power before the medical form is over there but they won’t except it now because I didn’t get it to them before they turn the power off it’s probably hard to get something to them that I didn’t have before they shut the power off and I had it but they will not do anything they will not work with me they won’t do anything I told him that I can’t go until my title gets here
    and they said it should be here by Monday appointment to go Wednesday just in case that is it now my husband is unstable he is on disability and uses oxygen daily I also have a lot of health problems as stated by my doctor. Please help me get my power back on.

    Thank you

    Background:   In the past twelve months, *** ******** has had 8 late payments, 9 disconnect notices issued, 8 defaulted payment arrangements, 2 disconnects for non-pay and two returned payments. 

    Currently the total account balance is $1,419.29. $1,274.93 of this is past due consisting of $997.26 that is more than 90 days past due, $149.69 that is more than 60 days past due, $127.98 that is more than 30 days past due. 

    Recent Billing History
    7/25/24 - Bill for $1,419.29 due. Consists of $1,282.75 past due + $144.93 current charges - $7.82 interest for security deposit being held. 
    6/28/24 - Final pay date for disconnect notice for $1,146.95. 

    On 7/1/24, there was a pending disconnect order on *** ********** account due to a past due balance. Once an order is pending, only full payment of the past due balance will cancel a pending disconnect order. *** ******** contacted KU on the morning of 7/1/24, requesting a medical extension. KU obtained the contact information for the doctor office as well as permission from *** ******** to contact the doctor office to start the process. KU spoke with the doctor’s office that morning and faxed the forms to them to complete and return for the medical extension, KU received confirmation that the fax was successfully received by the doctor’s office at 9:45 am. The completed forms were not received before the service was disconnected at 10:04 am. KU typically recommends that customers make these type of requests and have them completely processed before the final pay date of the disconnect notice to avoid such outcomes as we cannot cancel a pending disconnect without full payment of past due or receipt of valid, completed forms for the medical extension from the doctor’s office prior to disconnect. Now that service is disconnected, it will require the full past due balance of $1,274.93 to reconnect service. 

    7/1/24 - Listened to *** ********** call to customer service, the CSR that assisted her followed the process correctly and did not advise any incorrect information or mislead *** ********* 

    PSC Regulations and Tariff:   KU PSC Sheet Number 

    Resolution:   On 7/2/24, KU spoke with *** ******** regarding her issue. KU explained to *** ******** that once the service is disconnected, it would require the whole past due balance of $1,274.93 be paid in order to have the service reconnected. KU advised *** ******** that he reviewed her phone call with customer service on 7/1/24, when she requested that KU reached out to her doctor for the medical extension. The CSR that assisted her followed the process correctly and did not mislead her as she states. The CSR explained that typically we recommend that a customer have request for a medical extension complete before the final pay date of the disconnection notice. The CSR explained that since the disconnection order was already pending it was not possible to guarantee the service would not be disconnected but if valid documents was received from her doctor before the service was disconnected, the extension could be added and disconnect order canceled. The CSR also explained that if the service is disconnected before these documents are received, it would require the full past due amount to reconnect the service. KU advised *** ******** that when/if she pays the past due amount, she will want to contact KU to request reconnection of service. KU advised that if she contacts KU by 5:00 pm ET, the service can be reconnected the same day. 

    *** ******** was not pleased with the information that KU provided, stating that she was reaching out to her state representative and would be reaching out to her attorney.

    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.

    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!!
