Public Service Electric & Gas [PSEG] review: check your electric meters everyone! 10

even better is the new apartment I am moving into later this month (June-2009) ... I recv'd a bill from PSE&G for the new apartment for last 10 days of May 2009 ... billing me for $942- for gas & electric use for 10 days on a vacant apartment ... electric is for refrigerator only ... gas is for hot water tank only ... neither is being used .. no lights, TV, nothing ! I pointed out that this was an "estimated" reading which was obviously incorrect ... and the idiot customer rep suggests that maybe the refrigerator and hot water tank are not energy efficient and should be replaced. Absolute ###S working at PSE&G !

For several months now we have been plagued by inaccurate meter readings, meter readers not showing up on scheduled dates, and the power company attempting to collect from us with an estimate of the current bill, NOT the actual amount due. We are now threatened with the power being shut off by the 1st of August, but the next meter reading is scheduled for Aug. 3rd. We have been told that this date is not flexible despite our multiple complaints to the company in the past regarding the tardiness of their meter readers, and despite the fact that we should be legally able to receive an accurate copy of the current balance before we remit payment. This to me is evidence not necessarily of a conspiracy, but of complicity within the bloated corporate structure of PSE&G. The complicity and hypocrisy of this nameless, faceless, I-don't-know-I-just-work-the-collections-desk type of mentality is threatening to put our business in a situation from which it cannot recover. Simply put, this is a steaming pile of FAIL on PSE&G's part! Stop trying to strong-arm the people who are providing a creative public service to communities within the city your organization obviously doesn't give a damn about!

Yeah lol they are nazis

Your a complete ###. Instead of ranting and raving about this nonsense on here using PSEG electric to power your extension cord to your computer, pay your bill like the rest of all of us here in New Jersey stop whinning over this that are regulated by the government and local agencies and move on. The fact that you are admitting to being a bad debtor that has PSEG in debt by not paying your bill as well as not turning to off in the process, you make no sense with your rediculous and idiotic comments about a power supply that is one of it not the most reliable electric company on the east coast. Save your propaganda nonsense for people close to your circle that create more bad debt for this country and welch off everyoe else. I come on this site to read about ert meters and I see this and couldn't believe it kept my interest long enough to see how childish you sound. If you didn't have a ### credit score and could afford an actual home instead of moving into an apartment and dropping dough on all these high priced upgrades so you could save $25 on your bill, you might be living in your own place with nice things up in north jersey using jcpl grid and than see how much you appreciate the hard work and dedication PSEG employees have at 3:00 am in the rain making sure you can power your $100 a month gas and electric bill to keep your lights and heat on so you don't freeze. I understand your frustration of the "regulated charges" but there is nothing to do to change that and PSEG can't even give their employees discounts on the same changes. Trust me, if something could be done it would but black balling one of the countries top electric companies because you want to pout and take your ball and go home over $100 your certifiably incompetent of making a rash decision about having a reliable company like PSEG arguing us in new jersey.

Pseg is ripping people off. Plain and simple. I was shut off for one missed bill, and was charged usage for the month I was actually shut off. Sounds extremely off to me. Not to mention the rude, always late, put u on hold for hours reps that hang up on you all the time. I'm happy for all you pseg worker. I really am. Its lovely to bounce through life without a care. Worked hard all my life and they only gave me one thing. Hoops. And its very unfortunate that I have to jump through them. But not for long. I'd rather live void of electric then give blood to em and then some.

Ps karma can destroy a company too. Might not be anytime soon, but it will catch up. Complaints Lawsuits explosions eventually bankrupt. Nobody is untouchable.

to "888"--YOU are the complete ###! what, does PSE&G pay you for this? i highly doubt it. amazing how there are SHEEPLE who will ACTUALLY DEFEND A UTILITY COMPANY--especially one with such a bad reputation (documented) for poor CS and even poorer concern for the people who keep them in business. as for them being a monopoly, well, you CAN order energy from a different company, but you will STILL be paying PSE&G for "delivery"--a charge which often exceeds even THEIR inflated supply rates. you clearly have no idea that you are being ripped off, as apparently you believe the utility company. and if you DO work for them, just wait until they try and get you to agree to an "early retirement"- (from which PSE&G benefits--NOT the faithful worker)-which they have done to several folks i know who have worked for them. apparently YOU are one of the idiots who run out and buy things because you believe the ADS PRODUCED BY THE CORPORATION WHO MAKES THE PRODUCT AND WANTS YOUR MONEY... poor fool.

this is in response to the comment made by 888: You might want to take some meds for your anger issues. Obviously you are just a shill for the PSE&G corporation. The people on this site are sick and tired of being j***ed around by PSE & G but yet you are defending them, and you seem to be the only onwe. You also might want to learn proper English. Profanity and name calling is a sign of a small mind.
