Complaint Review: Allegheny Power

Allegheny Power is the greediest company in the world. We have been
paying our bills on time with Allegheny for 20 years. They have gotten
every penny for their over-priced service. My wife and I have both lost
our jobs, and we're scraping to get by on part-time work. We're a
couple-hundred behind on payments to them for the first time in our
lives. So - benevolent company that they are - instead of understanding
our plight, they slap a $250 deposit charge on our bill from last month
on top of the monthly charges. Yeah, like we can afford a $450 bill
right now. We call them and tell them we can't afford their extra
charges, and appeal to their conscience. Oops, they don't have one. They
won't pull the deposit requirement. We can't afford it, so we make our
monthly payment for the electricity. Then, the bastards apply the
payment to their IMMORAL service charge, and say we haven't paid our
bill. THEN, they send one of their schmucks to our house to disconnect
our power unless we pay the whole thing in full on the spot. THAT'S
EXTORTION, and if I did it to someone, I would be arrested. But, of
course, Allegheny Power owns all the politicians. So, now my asthmatic
daughter won't be getting her medicine this month, and we'll be eating
crackers and water while the FAT CAT B***ARDS that run this company live
the high life in their mansions. New corporate motto: ALLEGHENY POWER:
WE'RE WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA!
