Complaint / Review
Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA)
Charging Base Fee for Vacant Property

I've possessed the home under consideration in Lehigh Acres, FL since April 20.By October I've not existed within this house. This handle continues to be empty since middle- March and it is along the way of foreclosure.

I had been acutely upset to get a statement for over $400 for support from FGUA. And so I sent their organization on 3/20 seeking termination of my consideration plus they REFUSED my request. A “Base Fee” from what I'm being informed by their workers, is needed by me before house isn't any longer in my own name. I had been never made conscious of a “water power foundation fee” agreement. Are they upfront and truthful using their customers about that? Do they actually believe people can pay this? They obviously understand there's not been any utilization of water and sewage only at that handle for almost 5 weeks. You and that I also realize that it will take a few DECADES to ultimately possess a house foreclosed on. However they need me to pay for a charge to some business that I’m not getting any support from. I've simply no difficulty spending money on the providers I've utilized but I'll NOT spend $52 per month for however long it requires for that foreclosure to complete. I've NEVER decided to this type of silly demand after I first got water hookup.

I’m not just one that's really keen on Lee County Electric House but actually they'd not cost me a “Base Fee” when I’m not utilizing their solutions. Or the wire company or telephone business. They're a power business. They didn't give me cash to possess this company. It’s nothing like a loan on the car.

I received the next e-mail back from their store 2 nights afterwards 3/22/12:

Thanks for calling the FGUA. I've examined your bill # xxxxxxxxxx, at [handle was below]. By the day of the mail you're shown as house owner, per the Lee County Property Appraiser.

Bottom price costs are evaluated to every home so that as the home manager you remain accountable. Your request to shut your consideration won't remove your bottom price cost or preparedness to function charge.

The exercise of resources charging a starting price can be used through the business. Locally, Town of Cape Coral Resources, Lee County Resources and Bonita Springs Resources make use of this exercise. It's also defined like a general-practice from the Florida Public Service Fee and also the National Waterworks Association. The bottom cost handles the price of providers that must definitely be supplied aside from utilization and offsets the fixed expenses of working the machine.

Should you have any extra concerns please don't wait to make contact with me in the nearby workplace (239) 543-1005 Ext. 25.

Sincerely,

Donna Lizotte

Our reaction to that:

With all due regard Ms. Lizotte,

You're not supplying something or a great within this issue. Which means you are informing me which you view it totally suitable to cost me a charge each month for let’s state 24 months (foreclosures appear to have a while). That will imply I'm simply providing your organization $1500 and also you aren't providing me something in exchange. Please clarify the reasoning within this. After I provide a business cash, I'm getting a support of some kind or I'm getting products at hand. And so I am likely to request you again, what'll I enter return in giving over $52 per month for your organization when I am NOT making use of your providers?

I'm NOT spending your workers being that they are no longer working for me personally. I'm NOT your client anymore.

I’m sure that is your businesses method to preserve everybody used and remove layoffs. I’ve been doing my research online. I'll recommend you. I'm NOT below to assist gain all of your different clients and help keep your water system structure. Sorry… not from my wallet you won’t. You’ll have to cope with layoffs such as the remainder of culture. I'm not spending this definitely silly irrational unconstitutional charge. I'll be confirming you towards the BBB and Lawyer General’s workplace each and every month I obtain a statement from you. Which means you have to correct this.
