Centerpoint Energy has run a monopoly in the State of Texas for years providing natural gas service. They are perhaps the worst company in the nation for customer satisfaction. The only way to force this company to treat PAYING customers with respect is to introduce competition. The top 5 executives at Centerpoint earn well over 13 million dollars a year collectively.

I spent all morning reading your stories about the outrageous bills you receive every month and the total lack of accountability from this company. My own family feels this same financial pressure and we are just as tired of having no other options for our basic utility needs.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me of the nights my own family sat in the dark without answers while these executives took their high salaries. It is powerful to know that so many others are fed up with being treated this way by a company that takes us for granted.

This is crazy, several power outages per week. I feel like I'm living in a 3rd world country. I need a generator constantly to efficiently work from home. This is monopoly and it needs to stop.

Center point is a horrific bully. I have spent hours away from work tying get any form of responsiveness from this company. They use payment systems which do not work. This state sponsored monopoly is a disgusting organization. The federal government figured out years ago that airline regulation does not work. Why do Texas residents have to continue to languish under this junk.

Worst company ever. They charge collection fee's and don't even leave a note your gas was turned off. That is after not recieving a bill then charge another $60 fee to turn it back on. Horrible customer service and my bill usually runs under $30 My gas has been turned off three times in 6 months because they never send a bill.
