I have been charged a $150 deposit now for requesting extensions on my bills. My power has never been cut off, I always pay my bills on the arranged days, and I always confirm with the customer service representative what fees or negative feedback will be placed on my account due to the requests. I have never been notified this was impending. I also was told when I signed up for service there would only be a $90 deposit to receive service. When I called to discuss with them and see how I was responsible for something that was added when I'd made sure to see any penalties for my actions and this was never mentioned I was told "if you don't like it, all we lose is a bad credit customer... we're the only electric provider in your area, I hear generators are pretty cheap." I asked to speak to her supervisor (she is a manager) and she told me she was the only person I'd ever speak to, she was the end all be all for me, and that even if I tried to call back and talk to a different manager, she'd flag my account and interrupt any attempt in communications because I don't deserve to waste anyone else's time as such a bad credit person. Again. I pay my bills. I've never been disconnected, and though I have had one disconnect notice (from last December), I made an arrangement for that balance, and paid it off. Between not being informed during every phone conversation I've had with them this was happening and the service I've received when trying to figure this out, I'm not sure what to do.

Ever since AMLI @ Nothwinds changed to Georgia Power, I am getting very high bills. For the past one year i was paying around $60. Now my bill has started with $93 in the first month and then $179 and then $140. Not sure what is going on. When i called them they told it is because of heater and advised me to keep it in auto. After doing that also my electricity bill is too high

I recieved a bil for 320$ in the middle of winter. It was cheaper in the heat of the summer. I called and emailed them and they said it was bc of the unusualy cold winter month, thing is i did not change my settings it lowerd them there no ecuse they can come up with it went up by 150$ for no reason Georgia needs a new power company, and a fair one. Georgia Power has a monopoly on electricty in Georgia. They can charge whatever they want and they do.

I was late on my business' GA POWER bill...times are tough...business is slow...I was about 30 days late. Thank you GA Power for not cutting my power off...instead, they charged me a $695 deposit...due by DECEMBER 22...three days before Christmas. They wouldn't let me wait until after Christmas to pay...or finance the charge...MERRY CHRISTMAS GA POWER ! Enjoy the $695 that I haven't earned yet. This $695 would have been MORE than I would spend this Christmas on my wife and 10 year old son...What can I get my son for Christmas ?

I got service with Ga Pwr in 2005. At that time I was told that budget billing would be the best option for my family. It was explained to me in great details. "Mam what we will do is add up your monthly bill at that residence for the past 12 months, then we will divide that amount by 12. This new amount will be your bill every month, you will know what it costs every month with no suprises." I then had to ask " Ok so what happens if the bill is more every month?" The lady says "Oh ok heres what happens, if the bill is less you will have a credit pot, if the bill is more we have an overage pot. If the credit pot doesnt clean out the overage pot then at the end of the year we will wash it out. You wont owe anymore money at the end of your service" I said "ok great yeah sign me up..." Now in 2006 I left my husband at the time and the service was transferred into his name. I paid my final bill and gave them permission to transfer the deposit into his name. I was not given any info of oweing anymore money. I have checked my credit frequently every year. Last yr I checked it and tah dah there is a negative report from ga power saying I owe 832.18. OH NO THEY DIDNT Oh yes they did too. I called them and they claim it was a typo to just dispute it. I did and within 24 hours they have come back and said no its right. I then got a letter two weeks later from an attorneys office saying that GA PWR is coming after me and going to take anything I have. I contact them. The lady tells me that if I dont pay it I will be going to jail, they will garnish my checking account and come after me. Now my situation Im a single mom with no income, I lost my job last year after my son who is now ten but was 8 almost 9 at the time had a heart attack 3 days before his birthday. We have just gotten him straightened out enough to where I may be able to find employment. My income is a joke. Child support is all that keeps the lights on, the roof over their head and food in their mouths. This is nto by choice but the way it is right now. I tell her that I cant afford to pay 100.00 a month payments. She asks well what can you pay? I told her 5.00 a month is all I have left. She said oh well no one at GA PWR is going to take a payment in the amount of 5.00 a month I said well tough SH*t thats all I have. She said well we cant turn down a payment but you do realize it is going to take you 13 yrs to pay this off right? WELL DUH! I told her I disputed the info but would make payments until we could get to the bottom of it. After alot of run around still no answer. I was also told they would fix my credit to reflect the payment... uh no. Not even once. They keep telling the credit bureaus that I have not even contacted them about the debt. I have receipts, I have printouts. Now the fun part. They have charged off the account so much that when I make payments it doesnt get me far becaus ethey keep adding 7.00 charge off fees. I am not done with my fight but this is getting the best of me. IT may take 13 yrs to pay but they will not get a full payment until they give me some clear answers. They even told me to go to churches and ask for help paying it. Thats truly sad.
