Saw on another website that they wanted to speak to person whose name is on their Dominion gas bill. Just guessing this is one of those 3rd party marketing middlemen that deregulation of our utilities has wrought. Before deregulation we bought our utilities from the utility companies at a ressonable regulated rate. Now our utility companies charge us for "delivery" of our energy, & these middlemen charge us for the actual product. This is why our utility bills have doubled or even tripled in the last 10-20 years. Has anyones wages doubled or tripled in that time? Reregulation of our necessities would drive down the price, while still allowing the companies to make a very reasonable profit. The regulated formula in the past allowed the companies to mark up a fixed percentage of profit based on their actual cost, & this would detrrmine the price. After deregulation, the utility companies can charge as much as they can get away with, while "competing" with the middlmen (who of course all want to be millionaires) & they can do as little to maintain their infrastructure as they can get away with, & that difference is now their profit. Not to mention the insurance they now expect people to buy to cover the costs of any problem at a residence that the utility companies used to take care of as their obligation by means of a much lower service charge than what they now chargd. Reregulate Now!!
Receive at least 2 calls per day from 216.206.8205. I never pick up and of course they never leave a message. I finally called the # back today and I could barely even understand who it was... Idea something or other. I left a curt message to remove my # from their call list and to confirm that they got my message and... that if I rec'd another call from them that I will be reporting them to the state attorney general's office for harassment . Well just got another call so that's what I will do. These people need to be shut down!!!
