      Enbridge had authority for automatic withdrawal for my gas payments at my home *************************************************************************************** I moved to a seniors home and my house was sold and closed on October *** 2022. Every month they withdrew the funds for gas from my account. My bill for service from Sept ** to Oct ** was $****** which was removed from my account on Oct **, as I was on equal billing. The final bill was for service from Oct ** to Oct ****. The bill was $****** which they removed from my account. I complained to them because this final bill shows the previous balance as "UNPAID" and is carried over as a previous balance owing. I believe their program didn't pick up the payment at that time. The final bill included the days of gas usage and a credit for the final meter reading but they charged the $****** again. After an hour on the phone I could not resolve it because they said they understood what I was saying but his screen shows it owing and they ended the call by saying sorry I couldn't help you. I'm 96 years old. I haven't the ability to fight them.

      Enbridge Gas informed me of a bill payment to be made for my account ************ on Sept 21, 2022 in the amount of $*****. I attempted to pay this bill immediately online however their "Make a Payment" button has been made inactive (unclickable) and to this day (Nov. 5, 2022) remains inactive. I called Enbridge Gas to find another solution in the same week. I was recommended to set up a payment arrangement. I did so for Oct. 5, 2022 for the total amount of the Sept. 21 bill ($*****). In the same week I set up pre-authorized payments for account number ************ and was informed that future payments would be withdrawn automatically from my chequing account, however no confirmation came on the Oct. 20 bill date that the *** would be processed (I have another Enbridge Gas account, ************ for ***************. that is successfully set up for *** and processed each month). I learned today (Nov. 5, 2022) that another payment arrangement was set up for Nov. 9, 2022 for $100.26. I attempted to ask **** (the Enbridge online assistant) if the payment arrangement or *** would be processed for Oct. 20 and I was left with an empty chat box for multiple minutes (my internet connection was good, so that was not the issue). I have lost confidence that Enbridge Gas will successfully process this payment and, as a result, this will appear negatively on my credit report. So, I opted to finally pay by credit card and the additional fee that Enbridge charges. I would like an explanation from Enbridge Gas as to why the payment arrangement did not proceed as planned on Oct. 5 and why the *** for the ********** property does not appear to have been processed for the Oct. 20 statement and why the "Make a Payment" button appears non-funtional as this has caused me undue stress having to make countless phone calls and visits to the Enbridge Gas website and my credit report risks having a ******************* as a result of a missed payment.

      This year has been awful with Enbridge. We had to pay over $*** * different times in Feb. Another amount in March. they took us off our equal billing amount without telling or asking us. We used to pay ***** a month. When I called and complained they put us back on equal billing with some excuse as to why we were taken off. Now we are at ***** a month. Then in May it was a ***** bill. Then the month after that they put us back at ***** a month. I just checked my actual bill and for some reason this months actual bill is ******.....our heat hasn't even been on!!! SO many are having billing issues with Enbridge. Its not fair to us as customers as we have no other options. Please have them fix these issues!!! We deserve something for all this hassle since the switch from union gas. They say they have hired a third party to read meters but ours I dont think have been read.

      On Feb 9th, 2022. I received a letter from Enbridge telling me the **** was overdue. Without question it, I paid right way. Because the amount was significient, so I send my contractor to the building to check the reason cost so much. After checking, all equipments seemed working fine, and I took a picture of meter reading (*****) on Feb 25, 2022. Later, I received march **** of $*******, meter charged to *****. I check back my old bills, discovered that the meter reading on **** of July 2021 was *****, which means they over charged me since July 2021. I did quick calculations, they over chaarged me mini of $******. I called Enbridge on April 7th, spoke to a girl, told her everything I found, and request them to give me refund. She offered me to credit me to this account, I refused, simply becuase I don't have $**** some dollars spare money to prepay them, I have another few accounts with them, I need it to pay my other bills. She understand it, and told me that they will send me a check, but need 30 days, meantime, I told her my other accounts with enbridge, and I'll wait for the refund check to pay my other bills. She told me that I won't get charged for the late fees because this is not my fault, so i waited for the check.... The refund check never came... I called back many times, always same story. On June 1st, 2022, I called again, and talked to another girl. this time, she said this is a big amount, need supervisor approval, need at least 2 month.... I just received a new **** from Enbridge for ***** it's $******* cr. I realized that they has no intension to give me my money back, meantimes, they has been charging me the late fees since I didn't pay the bills for my other accounts. This is not fair. I feel like I got ******, scamed, how could they even charge me that much at begin with? Is there a law or regulation to the utility companies? and after over charged me, why don't they give me my money back? I want to pay all my bills, but I was treated so unfair

      This is a billing complaint in regards to Enbridge Gas. On my most recent **** from May 18th-June 18th I did not use any natural gas. I switched my hot water heater to an electric hot water tank last year and Enbridge is aware of this. I am still being billed a customer charge for no reason at all. They said I must pay it to keep my account active even though they have not supplied any natural gas to me recently. The only other option they provided was for me to disconnect my service and pay a reconnection charge this is very unreasonable and *********. Why should customers pay fees for services they are not using. I will not be using natural gas during the warm months of the year such as: June, July, August, September and part of October. This will result in over $100 in useless ********* charges for nothing.

      All customers are billed a customer charge.  This covers the fixed costs that don't change whether gas is used that month or not.  Emergency response, pipeline maintenance, 24/7 emergency call centre, meter reading etc.  Called and left a message with the customer

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:it's does not cost $25 to write an invoice that's what the customer charge is a total white collar *****. They have other charges on the **** to cover maintenance costs transportation, storage and delivery. This is nothing but ***** to pad the companies bottom line and CEOs salaries. If I am not using any gas over the summer months why should I have to pay a customer charge just to keep my account open. Last year I didn't pay anything over the summer months to keep my account active. I use a electric water heater for this very reason because natural gas is a rip-off due to all the ridiculous charges which increase based on consumption. Transportation, storage and delivery charges for something that sits in a pipeline in the ground. I do not accept this *****ulent and ********* response from the business.

       The customer charge covers the fixed costs whether or not gas is used ie emergency response/24/7 emergency call centre, pipeline maintenance and meter reading.

      While closing my enbridge account (as I moved into a basement apartment from a house), I was informed that my last payment would need to be made through the bank. This was due to the payment being deferred (offered by the company) despite all previous payments had been removed through a Pre-Authorized Debit transaction. On May 25, 2022 I had received an email reminding me to make the payment which was due May 27. I went to my bank and paid the **** directly. I immediately contacted an enbridge agent to report my payment and to ensure no money would be removed from my account moving forward. The woman informed me that there would be no funds removed from my account and that everything should be taken care of. Unfortunately, they removed additional funds from my account despite the conversation I previously had. I contacted the company immediately and was informed that once the payment was posted on their end, they would be able to refund my money which would take no more than a day or two. I waited for the payment to be posted to my account which was May 30 and immediately contacted the company again. This time I was told it would take 15 days to refund my funds as I no longer have an active account. I requested to speak to somebody higher up and they forwarded my call to a woman named **** who claimed to send an email to payroll requesting a sooner refund date and gave me her extension to call if there were any issues. I received an email from the company stating that my negative balance is due on June 15 and assumed that was the refund. I logged into my enbridge account and it states the payment should be refunded within 1-2 business days. It has been over 22 days. I have attempted to contact **** using her extension and have left multiple voicemails to no reply! I called on June 17 at 10am and again on June 21 at 8am and again at 4:30pm leaving voicemails to no reply! I dont understand their need to hold my funds they took against my permission. I will try again.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory enough to me. It seems nothing more can really be done. The money has been returned (a month after it was taken and double the amount of time promised) but I was hoping for accountability for the lying, avoidance, disrespectful behaviour and just complete unprofessionalism. It seems there will be an investigation and training opportunities to follow this incident. Thank you for all your efforts! I greatly appreciate your time on this matter!

      Sincerely,
