Help fight the unfair rate hikes and recurring deposit requirements for natural gas customers.
Why is this important?
Utitlity companies, specifically natural gas utitlities are applying recurring deposits of as much as $500 to bills of people who are struggling to pay. The companies are not regulated properly by state public utilities commisions, that basically allow the companies to increase rates as they wish. The higher rates and recurring deposits are applied at a time when there is an abundance of natural gas available in the country. Why is this happening? These deposits are often applied when citizens are slow or late paying. The bill swells to an insurmountable amount which then leads to inevitable shut offs.
