Poplar Bluff municipal utilities and city cable
I bought my home in august since then I have been a customer of Poplar Bluff municipal utilities and city cable electric company. This company has yet to give me my deposit back keep in mind I am buying my home. Sure it is only a $150.00 deposit but to me that is a lot of money I am just a college student. Also my rates are unbelievable.
They went from $100 in January to $200 in February to $230 in March that is a $130 dollar increase in 2 months. My water went from $7 to $20 in 2 months. We also have to pay a fee on top of our bill called a purchase power adjustment which is around 10% of my bill. This company is an unfair monopoly in Poplar Bluff. And when my electric cost me 1 weeks pay its too much.
I turned everything off in my house and looked at my electric meter outside and it was still making a complete rotation every 3.5 seconds. I asked them to come and look at it and verify I had nothing on in the house and they did. The company told me that it could be my hot water heater. Are you kidding me I am paying $150 a month for hot water, I dont think so!
This is a bad company and is getting away with a horrible scam on me. Oh by the way my parents also live a block over and see bills less than half of mine and use way more electric and water than I do.
