After evicting a tenant, I contacted NV Energy in mid-October to establish service in my name. After collecting my personal information, including my Social Security number, I was informed that I would be held liable for the unpaid bills of the former tenant solely because we share the same last name.The tenant, although related to me, is an adult who entered into a lease agreement that explicitly included responsibility for all utility bills. The tenant provided NV Energy with her Social Security number, lease agreement, and all required documentation.I was told that electricity service would not be reconnected unless I paid the tenant's outstanding bill. This demand is baseless, as I have never resided at the property and had no involvement in her financial obligations. Furthermore, the electricity service was abruptly disconnected without proper notice.Demanding payment for another persons debts as a condition for reconnecting electricity is unethical and potentially illegal. Holding me accountable for the debts of another adult solely based on a shared last name is discriminatory and unjust. Additionally, the customer service representative I spoke with accused me of frauda baseless and offensive accusation that reflects poorly on NV Energys practices.NV Energys actions in this matter are a clear violation of fairness and decency, and the extortionate demand for payment has further exacerbated the harm caused.An immediate investigation into this incident, including a review of the decision to disconnect service without adequate verification.A formal apology for the inappropriate accusations and the extortionate demand made by your representative.Assurance that measures will be taken to prevent such situations in the future, including better training for employees and the adoption of fairer practices regarding account responsibility.Compensation or restitution for any damages or hardship caused by this disconnection and the extortionate behavior.

Ms. Carroll purchased the home located at *************** in December of 2023 at which time Ms. ********* relative put services into their name. NV Energy utilizes a third-party identification tool, ******Nexis and has confirmed that both Ms. ******* and her relative are associated to the ********* address and ************** address. Due to the association, NV Energy will require the balance of $1,016.62 to be paid in full prior to establishing services.

Because Ms. ******* owns the property and is related to the occupant who owes the charges, the balance will be required prior to establishing services. Unfortunately, NV Energy has no way of verifying that Ms. ********* relative has vacated the premise; therefore, the matter is considered a civil issue between Ms. ******* and her relative.
NV Energy, under Rule 6 (2) (b) (d); may refuse to serve or refuse to resume service to a customer for service under any of the following conditions:
b. If the Customer has obtained or attempted to obtain service by fraudulent means, unless the conditions constituting the fraud have been corrected.
d. NV Energy may terminate electric service without prior notice if the acts of the customer or the conditions upon his premises are such as to indicate to the utility his intention to defraud the utility.

As a courtesy NV Energy can establish services for ********** if she agrees to take responsibility and have the balance transferred to her account.

Complaint: 22633109

I am rejecting this response because:
I am writing to address your actions regarding my attempt to establish electricity service, which are not only unethical and discriminatory but also pose a serious threat to safety and well-being.
Your decision to disconnect electricity service without proper notice or justification is not just unfairit is dangerous. Electricity is an essential utility, and the sudden loss of service can lead to severe consequences, including injury or even death. Power is critical for maintaining safe living conditions, particularly in homes that rely on electricity for heating, cooling, refrigeration of food and medications, and the operation of medical devices.
In this case, you disconnected service based on a baseless demand for payment of a former tenants fully resolved bill, despite having no legal or ethical grounds to do so. Such reckless actions create serious risks, including:
Health and Safety Hazards: Vulnerable individuals, including the elderly, children, or those with medical conditions, can suffer immediate harm due to extreme temperatures, lack of lighting, or inability to use medical equipment.
Fire and Accident Risks: The absence of proper lighting or heating alternatives can result in accidents or unsafe attempts to compensate for the lack of electricity.
Potential Liability for Harm: If harm or fatalities occur due to abrupt disconnection, NV Energy may bear legal responsibility for negligence and endangerment.
It is unconscionable that NV Energy, as a utility provider, would jeopardize public safety by prioritizing an illegitimate demand for payment over the well-being of its customers. This is especially egregious given that the outstanding bill you cited has already been paid in full by the former tenant, as you are well aware.
Your actions amount to extortion, discrimination, and negligence
Sincerely,

Due to Ms. ******** failing to make a payment in the last 90 days, her services were disconnected. Generally, NV Energy requires the full balance to be paid prior to reconnecting services; however, Ms. ******** was offered to be reconnected with the promise that she would pay a portion of the balance. Ms. ******** unfortunately did not comply with the agreement; however, she has enrolled in NV Energy's FlexPay program, a pay-as-you-go service, therefore her services will remain on as long as she complies with the terms and conditions of FlexPay.
For those struggling with high utility costs, NV Energy provides several energy assistance options. For ********** customers, ********** Home ********************** Assistance (LIHEAP) is available at ***********., and additional assistance options can be found at *******************

NV Energy's records indicate that Mr. ****** recent billing statement dated October 24, 2024, had a due date of November 12, 2024, for his current charges of $384.40. Unfortunately, Mr. ***** also had a past due amount totaling $214.31, therefore his billing statement also included a 10-day termination of services notice along with the following statement:
This is a reminder that as of the due date of this notice your account is past due in the amount of $214.31. Please pay total past due amount on or before 11/06/24 to avoid an interruption of service.
Since no payment was made, his services were disconnected the morning of November 12, 2024. Mr. ***** spoke with NV Energy's customer contact and his services were restored promptly after he submitted payment.

I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with NV Energys handling of my recent service disconnection. On October 23, 2024, I made a payment of $285 as part of a payment arrangement. I used an e-check via my saved bank account information. When I checked my bank account on October 29, I noticed the funds were still available, indicating the payment had not gone through. I immediately made the payment again, using the same saved information.However, on November 4, 2024, my services were disconnected without any prior notice, which caused significant disruptions for my family and me. I work from home and was unable to access my work systems. Additionally, I could not take my daughter to school, as my garage was inaccessible without power. My services were only restored at 11:05 AM after I made an additional payment, following a call to NV Energy.During my conversation with an NV Energy representative, I was told the initial payment failed because my bank account information was marked as account not found. While I appreciate the representatives assistance, I am concerned that NV Energy did not notify me of this failed payment. I should have been informed immediately to address the issue before disconnection. NV Energy routinely sends notifications for other matters, including missed payments and defaulted arrangements, so I am unsure why I was not alerted in this instance.I believe NV Energy should have provided prior notice of the pending disconnection on November 4, 2024. Had I received notification, I could have taken prompt action to prevent this disruption to my home and work life.Given the challenges this situation caused, I kindly request:1.An investigation into NV Energys notification policies for payment issues.2.Assurances that steps will be taken to improve notification procedures, particularly for failed payment verifications.3.Compensation for the hardship and inconvenience caused by this incident.

NV Energy received a payment for $283 on October 23, 2024, and the payment was returned by the customers financial institution on October 28, 2024. On October 29, 2024, the customer made an additional payment for $285, which was also returned by the customers financial institution. Both payments were returned with a reason code of "account not found" indicating the information the customer provided when submitting the payments was incorrect.
Customers with a prior return payment occurrence, within ************************************************************************************************* accordance with NAC ******* subsection 4. NV Energy attempted to make an outbound call regarding the customers returned payment and the disconnection, however the call was unsuccessful. NV Energy received a payment on November 4, 2024, and the services were reconnected promptly.
NV Energy apologizes for any inconvenience the situation has caused; however, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the correct payment information is provided at the time of payment.

Complaint: 22512100

I am rejecting this response because: NV energy did not call me before to let me know about a disconnection notice or returned payment. They usually send an email but NV Energy sent nothing which left me in the dark literally. And my services was not restored promptly, I paid NV Energy at 7:43 am my services was not reconnected until 11:03 am-11:05 am. I also find it mighty strange that NV Energy contacted me on November 5 stating my payment was returned and services was about to be disconnected and to call them back, when I called I was told the system was messed up but I wouldnt be disconnected it had old information and that it hadnt been updated yet but no worries though, I find that very frustrating and concerning.

Sincerely,

In accordance with NAC ******* subsection 4, NV Energy is not required to notify customers of a disconnection due to a returned payment, however, NV Energy makes every attempt to notify its customers of a disconnection by providing a courtesy call. As NV Energy stated in our previous response, the call was attempted, however was unsuccessful.

10.28.24 I was put on a payment for a bill that was almost $700 for a light bill. Now my light company is saying I have penalties because Im on a plan that they offer and they are now trying charge me $470 for a deposit fee because of the payment planning they offer its customers. I have paid on time with the payment arrangements. They are already charging us high bills and are now charging $470 for payment arrangements that they offer. I would like to get it waived. I called and spoke to someone and she said they cant waive it. This is crazy
Business Response

Although NV Energy offers customers the option to spread their past due charges amongst several payments, the charges are still past due, therefore late fee assessments are not halted during that time.

On September 26, 2024, Ms. ********* account was assessed its fourth late fee in a 12-month period resulting in a deposit charge for $470. Unfortunately, since NV Energy provided a courtesy deposit adjustment in 2020 for Ms. ******** NV Energy is unable to waive the deposit a second time.

Once Ms. ******* has reestablished 12 months of satisfactory credit, the deposit will be applied back to the account with interest.

NV Energy terminated my services at my apartment without making positive contact with me. I returned from vacation only to come home to a dark apartment. My electricity was officially turned off on October 14, 2024, because someone alleged that they were moving into my apartment. One that I have lived in since February 2020. The only method NV Energy used to notify me was by The ****************************. Since I was out of the country - I did not receive the letter until I returned from my vacation. NV Energy had various other ways to contact me. They could have sent an email, the could have sent a text or at the very least the could have called. None of these other methods of communication were used. Instead, they turned off my electricity without confirming that I was moving. I am a flight attendant so I am gone more than I am at home. If I was working I also would've not received this letter. The fact that NV Energy can simply turn off your electricity without making positive contact with the current resident is a policy that has to change. If NV Energy can mail a letter letting someone know that new services were requested at their address, certainly the can send an email or a text message confirming this information. NV Energy needs to be held accountable for turning off electricity and for not making positive contact with me. I do not want this to happen another NV Energy customer. Their current policy needs to be changed in order to make sure that they make positive contact with the person whose electricity they are planning to turn off. Letters are lost in the mail every single day. Mailing a letter to inform someone that their electricity is going to be turned off can not be the only form of communication sent to a customer.

As Ms. ****** has stated, utility services at her address were erroneously taken out of her name due to another customer requesting to accept responsibility for the services. Ms. ****** was advised by NV Energy's customer operations that we do not refuse services to anyone who is requesting to take responsibility; however, as a precaution, a courtesy letter is mailed to the previous customer to inform them of the request. I realize that Ms. ****** is dissatisfied with the method of correspondence; however, at this time, NV Energy only provides a letter via United States Mail.
We appreciate Ms. ******** recommendation to include additional correspondence, and it will be passed along for review.

I did not receive any communication from the BBB that NV Energy had responded to my complaint. I would like to have my complaint re-opened. NV Energy should HAVE to make positive contact with a customer before shutting off their electricity. Sending a letter in 2024 isn't an effective way to let someone know that their electricity will be turned off. An email could have been sent, a phone call made, or even a text message to confirm that I was vacating the premises OR that someone had requested new service at my address. NV Energy stated in their response that they - "Can't deny service to anyone." When in fact, they denied services to me by cutting off my electricity. When I received a final bill last year (May 2023) I was told that I should password protect my account. I did as I was instructed to do by NV Energy and yet my electricity was still turned off.
I was out of the country when the letter would've been received. Now, had NV Energy sent an email (just like they do their bill every month) my electricity would've never been turned off to begin with. Their policy (or lack thereof) not having to make positive contact with a customer needs to be amended. I lost hundreds of dollars of food due to NV Energy not making a diligent effort to contact me. NV Energy needs to be held accountable and must change their policy regarding terminating services simply because someone called and said they were moving into my home.

I requested a one day extension on a 10 day termination notice. NV energy said no. They said no because they sent a 48 hour termination letter at the same time. The termination date is October 23rd. Today is the 17th. The customer service operator had to speak with two different supervisors to get me this one day extension. Then I was told that this would be a one time only courtesy. Why? This is not the first time NV energy has done this to me. I have fallen behind and haven't been able to catch up because if the high power bill so they charged me a security deposit of I think $300. I asked for a payment plan for that deposit they said no. I wrote the BBB then about it and they finally gave me that payment plan. All I want is to not have to be stressed out over one day. That I can call nvenergy and they will help me. Nvenergy has a choke hold on you. All I'm asking is that you release your grip little and allow us to breath but it seems you want to choke the life of of us instead.

Ms. ****** had services with NV Energy from April 29, 2024, through August 5, 2024, and made no payments. When she attempted to establish services at her new address in September, she was advised that payment in full was needed to clear up her final balance from her previous address, which she paid; however, the payment was returned for non-sufficient funds. Another payment was submitted shortly thereafter and was also returned for non-sufficient funds. NV Energy's credit policy states that any payments returned by a customer's financial institution must be paid in full prior to re-establishing services.
Despite NV Energy's strict credit policy on returned payments, Ms. ****** was provided a courtesy reconnect with a small payment of $100. Ms. ****** claims the representative she spoke with was rude and unfriendly, therefore the recorded call will be reviewed, and coaching will be provided if necessary.

NV ENERGY KICKED ME OUT OF THEIR EQUAL PAYMENT PLAN PROGRAM WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE OR DOCUMENTATION AND IS NOW THREATENING ME WITH A 10 DAY TERMINATION NOTICE STATING THAT I OWE THEM $1800. THIS IS UNFAIR AND UNJUST SINCE I AM UNAWARE THAT I WAS NO LONGER ENROLLED IN THEIR EPP PROGRAM. MY ACCOUNT IS ON AUTO PAY EVERY MONTH WITH MY BANKING INSTITUTION SO TO MY KNOWLEDGE, MY ACCOUNT WAS IN GOOD STANDING. WHAT NV ENERGY SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS TO MAIL ME OUT A PROPER CORRESPONDENCE ADVISING THAT THEY WILL REMOVE ME FROM EPP AND STATING THE REASONS WHY. THEY DIDNT DO THAT STEP AND YET, THEY CAN EASILY SEND OUT A CORRESPONDENCE STATING THAT I AM UP FOR TERMINATION/DISCONNECTION IN 10 DAYS BUT NEVER ONCE DID THEY SEND ME A NOTICE FOR MY EPP REMOVAL? NV ENERGY TAKES $178 A MONTH OUT OF MY CHECKING ACCOUNT WHICH WAS PART OF MY EPP AGREEMENT FOR YEARS NOW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GET SLAPPED WITH A TERMINATION NOTICE? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

NV Energy spoke with Ms. ****** on September 17, 2024, and re-enrolled her account in Equal Payment. Additionally, three months of late fees and the deposit were removed as a courtesy.
Equal Pay is not a discount or reduced rate, rather is designed to assist customers with managing their finances while encouraging energy conservation. One benefit of the plan is the averaging of a customers past ********************** bills to determine a monthly payment moving forward, which helps to avoid the high seasonal bills that can be experienced during the extreme hot or cold weather months. However,payment amounts are adjusted if it is projected to result in overpayment or under collection of $100. Because of this, we advise customers to continue monitoring their actual usage and we offer suggestions for energy conservation to keep actual costs low. Each bill while enrolled in Equal Pay displays all actual amounts that would be due if not enrolled in Equal Pay, as well as the Equal Pay amount due. Additionally, customers enrolled in Equal Pay are required to make timely payments and can be removed from the program after the fourth late fee is assessed to the account. The Equal Payment Terms &Conditions can be reviewed by going to **************************************************************************************;

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
