[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see a problem with this, but I absolutely do with not paying parking tickets. PEPCO is gouging people. Our bill was up 20-30% last year alone. [/quote]

I thought that was the point behind this, which PPs seem to be missing. Our Pepco bill nearly doubled, completely unexpectedly. Anyone on a budget is going to be blindsided and devastated by that kind of increase. Something has to be done to fix this. If it were any other serivce nad the randomly doubled their prices on us, we'd discontinue it; but you can't discontinue your power.[/quote]

Rates have not doubled, not even close. You should investigate why your bill went up so much. I hear from friends in apartments about various sketchy things the landlords/owners do, and sometimes they even discover that the metering is faulty so they are paying for their neighbors electricity. But Pepco did not double anyone’s rates. Even with the particularly cold winter this year, my bill did not go up very much, and I kept my house at the same temperature as usual. [/quote]

Why do people just lie with impunity? Talk to your neighbors, read a frickin newspaper before you spew lies.

[b]April 6th -- Pepco customers face soaring bills -- and another possible rate hike
[/b]Residents across Maryland are opening their electric bills and doing double takes — with some calling the latest charges unsustainable.

In Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, customers of Pepco said their monthly bills have surged dramatically in recent months, in some cases doubling to as much as $800 or $900.

“This isn’t just a high bill — it’s a breaking point for a lot of families,” said Montgomery County Councilmember Evan Glass, who said his office has been inundated with complaints.

The company is now seeking approval for another rate increase, which would add about $12 a month to the average residential bill starting this summer. According to Pepco, the additional revenue would help fund upgrades to aging power lines, substations, and other critical systems aimed at preventing outages and improving reliability.

You're right, people shouldn't lie. The reporter should have asked those people to log in to their pepco accounts, and then together they could have reviewed their historical bills to determine if their claims of "doubling" were truthful.[/quote]
