Family is sueing the company for compensation.
About two weeks ago we mecury energy customers received a letter from mercury practically kissing ass on how sorry they were in treating one of their customers.  |
It is a travesty for sure. We suffer the same here in the states. The elderly are on a fixed income. The state of Maryland who has BGE is the electric supplier let them raise the electric by 70%. Almost damn twice the normal we are used to paying. The elderly now can not afford to run the airconditioners. There will be many who suffer from heat exhaustion and death. It is just outrageous. Sounds to me like they have a monoply just like our electric company. Nothing you can do...need the electricity and they have it. No were else to get it.
