Typo, I meant electric "cooperative". God, what a fraud that is. Put the word cooperative in the name of a company that is anything but.

Co-ops are insane. Where I moved to where I live now they have one and they didn't even give me the option of a credit check the just told me I had to pay $150 deposit and that if I wasn't late during the first year they would give me the money back. Two weeks later they literally are knocking on my door wanting money and telling me I'm late. I explain to them I just had the lights turned on two weeks ago when I moved in and hadn't even gotten the first bill. It turns out I signed up the day before the billing cycle ended so they thought I owed them $2.49 from last month. Yes, they sent someone to my house to collect $2.49 and they wanted a $25 fee for this. In the end it seems since I was a new customer there was a delay in my first bill because it would also include my deposit. I didn't pay the guy at my door and a few days later when they bill came I took it down to the office and paid it. I had to argue with them for 5 minutes to make them understand their error before the removed the $25 "door" fee.
Of course a year later they tried to tell me I was late paying and I wouldn't get my deposit back. After showing them receipts for the year and explaining what happened at the start they gave me my deposit. But they didn't give me cash like they said they would, they just credited my bill.
They are a real pain in the ass if you need to do anything and they treat everyone like we she bow to them and consider how lucky we are to have them around. If I ever get diagnosed with a fatal disease I'm strapping explosives to my chest and pulling a jihad on their asses.
