    I opened a repair request for my dishwasher on January 7, 2025. It has now been almost a month, and the repair has still not been completed. Throughout this time, the wrong parts were initially ordered, followed by the correct parts being sent to the wrong address. It then took a week and a half of effort on my part to get the correct parts shipped to my home, and even then, I was not provided with a status update. Finally, on January 31, the repair technician came to install the parts. During the process, the upper rack supports were damaged, further prolonging the repair. Additionally, I noticed damage (see photos attached) to the hardwood floor in the area where the repair was conducted. I would like another repair person to complete the repair and reimbursement to replace or repair the damaged sections of the floor.

    When I signed up with **** i opted for the equal payment plan which takes an average of a couple of months and gives you one set price. It turned out to be a fabrication because after a year they took 1800$ from my account without authorization.

    Business response

    01/24/2025

    I spoke to Mr. ***** ********* on 1/24/2025. He expressed his frustration with PSE&G and PSE&G's equal payment plan. The equal payment plan bills the customer a monthly average of the gas & electric consumption.  The details of the equal payment plan, along with where the customer stands referencing what has been paid opposed to what has actual actually been consumed in dollars, is clearly identified on the PSE&G invoice.  Mr. ********* stated he understands how the equal payment plan works. He requested to cancel the equal payment plan on 1/24/2025.   Mr. ********* was initially enrolled  into the equal payment plan at a budget of $226. After a 6 month review PSE&G's system raised the plan to $296.00  ************ was consuming more gas & electric service than what he was being billed for. The December 2024 invoice shows the equal payment plan balancing for $1,833.55   Mr. ********* is requesting the $1,833.55 refunded to him. I informed that is not an option. I did advise Mr. ********* that department management will be contacted to see if any applicable discount is available.

    I am rejecting this response because:

     

    I understand the response. The program was very clearly deceptive marketing tactics. I was led to believe that the equal payment plan was all I was paying and the usage above that and what it showed on the bill was to show how much I was saving. Who would want one massive bill at the end of the year.

    On 12/20/2024 as I am moving to another state during my drive I receive an email titled "Account Closure Letter". I figured my building notified them that I had moved and they closed my account so I didn't do anything since they send me an email saying my account is closed. Fast forward to today I receive a bill. My account has infact not been closed. They set up the date the account would be out of my name for over a month later. I call up today and atleast closed the account before this however they refused to fix anything that happened before today. Why would you send someone an email titled account closure letter if you are not closing the account at that time? It should be titled something like changes to your account. I did not call since I received an email saying my account was closed. When I call they say I should have called but during my move you send an email titled Account Closure Letter so why would I call if I see my account was supposedly closed. This is a very deceptive and misleading business practice.

    Complaint: 22816722

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Again with the response before allowing a reasonable time to contact back. 

     

    I tried to call back just now actually got through. Of course the call drops. All I want is the balance corrected. As I am moving I receive an email the account is closed. There is not a date listed on the letter indicating that this is not an immediate account closure. They leave t he balance running after telling me my account is closed and not even stating any dates of anything so ofcourse I assume the building notified them that I had moved out already. I can't imagine losing a court case where I was not even given the date of the account being closed, and that it was a different date than the notification I was given in the email. 

     

    How do you notify someone that there account is closed and leave the account active and running after notifying them the account is closed?

    ******* *****

    Hello *******,

     

    Please send me a copy of the email that your stating you have from the company advising you that the services was shut off. 

    When customers are moving from out of a location it is their responsibility to contact PSEG to have the services taken out of their name.

    I will like to speak with you to see what actions have you taken and when to get the services out of your name.

    I am not liable for this debt with PSE&G-NJ, I do not have a contract with ***************, they did not provide me with the original contract as requested.

    Customer Relations sent an email to the customer on 1/10/25 and sent a follow up email on 1/13/25.  An attempt to leave a phone message was also made on 1/13/25, but not sure if it went through.  When the customer returns the message/responds to the email, will get the specifics about the debt she is disputing and investigate further.

    Weeks ago, I was informed I would receive a form to verify that my son, who has Muscular Atrophy, requires medical equipment in our home. I have yet to receive this form. Your delay and the tone of your communications are both disrespectful and insensitive. As a parent, its agonizing to watch my child endure such challenges, and your handling of this matter adds unnecessary ********* an employee of Momentum Solar, I am well-versed in utility operations and customer rights, likely more than you expect. The tone of your emails and notifications comes across as threatening, not procedural. Let me remind you of ******* Law, which prohibits power shutoffs in homes with critical medical equipment. Your approach is either negligent or intentionally dismissive of this law.For the record, my bill is manageable compared to what I see daily from customers, many of whom retain power despite higher balances. This isnt about the moneyI have multiple income streams and prioritize my childs condition and the holidays over your demands.Your behavior, however, is unacceptable. Threatening to cut power to a home with a medically vulnerable child crosses every line. I also have a significant platform3.2 million followers across social media, including ****** on Tik Tok. I will not hesitate to shine a light on this issue if it continues. With lawsuits already tarnishing your reputation, the last thing you need is public exposure for harassing families in need.Heres what I expect:Send the medical verification form immediately. Your delay is inexcusable.Cease all threatening communications. Any further threats will be escalated to my attorney without hesitation.Utility companies like yours are on borrowed time; solar and hydro power are the future. If you want to survive, start treating your customers with respect, especially those in vulnerable situations.I expect this matter resolved promptly and professionally.

    I spoke with the customer on 1/06/25 regarding his medical form request. Since he has not received any of the previously sent forms a new form was sent to his email address ************************** on 1/6/25. The customer has no further questions.

    I contacted PSE&G for an issue on the electricity meter last month. PSE&G misconnected the meters of our unit and our neighbors'. PSE&G sent a tech to investigate on the issue a week later. The tech verified that the meters were misconnected and the bill statement should reflect the correct number. However, the new statement still shows the balance based on the incorrect meter.I called the customer ********************** today and the agent told me that his supervisor should call me in an hour. However, I haven't heard anything.I need PSE&G fix the issue, recalculate the bill, and update the billing balance of our account.

    Ms. ******* ** had a field service investigation on 10/14/2024 The investigation determined crossed electric meters with another unit in the building she resides in. PSE&G's bookkeeping department determined that Ms. ** was overbilled.  A billing adjustment was performed resulting in a  $1,066.45 credit.  The 11/1/2024 invoice was regenerated to reflect the the credit.
