    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    WSSC owes me $276. On 8/17/22, I submitted a stop service request at a former home and the initiation of service at my current home effective 8/29/22. On or about 8/25/22 I received my final WSSC ***************** stated I had a credit of $276.02. After not receiving the refund, I contacted customer service in 10/22 via phone. The rep advised that there was no refund action on the file, despite seeing the presence of my form and the balance. She said she submitted a refund request and I would receive payment in about 10 business days. After about two months of waiting I called customer service again. At that time I was informed that the request was indicated as being under review, but there were no recent activity notes on the file. She advised that she put a note on the file asking the manager in charge to move forward with the refund. I patiently waited another few months before calling WSSC again in February. At that time I was advised that the account was closed, but she could see the refund wasn't processed. After being left on hold for several minutes I was told that the payment would be issued in 10 business days. To date there's been no payment and no contact from WSSC concerning any problems with the transaction. I simply want the money I'm due.

    WSSC High cost and terrible customer service. First wait on hold for 15- 20 minutes to speak with a customer service representative When you call to dispute a water bill they just site company policy. When you say you need to speak with a manager you are told " they will just tell you the same thing " I won't matter that your account has been in good standing without prior history of missed payments. If you make an error entering your account number on line. You will NOT be contacted electronically but by snail mail. So you have No opportunity to make an immediate correction to data entry error. Now a $35 dollar fee is added. in the meantime you have an email and a hard copy delivered confirming your on- time payment. Utility Monopoly After a hard rain don't hang around Crownsgate Village in GT, Maryland all you will smell is sewer.
