No one should suffer electricity or natural gas disconnection For far too long, I keep hearing people have had their natural gas or electricity disconnected, because the Utility company decided that they were not being paid fast enough. I Say, Enough is Enough!! NO ONE SHOULD SUFFER THE DISCONNECTION OF THEIR UTILITIES. In this day and age, it is no longer a luxury to have electricity or natural gas, it is a necessity of life. Without electricity one can not cook their food or keep their food from spoiling in the fridge. No one seems to see that this causes more problems. If you call your Electric or Gas company and tell them you can not pay, they want to cut you off and then add a $200.00 or $300.00 on top of what you owe as security. This makes no sense. We have to stop stepping over the little guy!!! Without natural gas, most people can not heat their home or have hot water to bathe because this is how the world functions now. We have to be Pro-Active instead of reactive to this growing problem. Our governments have to protect us as citizens and help us protect our ritghts. We should not suffer blackmail, or threats of disconnection of services from multi-million dollars companies, because they do not like the fact that you pay them, when they think they should get paid.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting climb but I am relieved to see so many others recognize that utilities are a life necessity. We have a long road ahead before the companies listen to us. I am tired but I am not stopping now.

Yes thank you for posting this. Life is hard enough without the threat of losing heat over a few dollars.

Total greed. They make millions and still want to hike up fees and shut people down if they are a week late. DISGUSTING.

My local electric company is so cruel. They cut us off in the middle of winter over a small balance. It is freezing and my kids are miserable. This needs to stop now.
