On or around September 28th or 29th 2022, I went online to set-up disconnection of my services as I would be moving out of my apartment on October the 2nd. I was not able to select the disconnect date online and felt that it was an error. I arrived at my new location (10/3/22), I called (10/4/22) to verify the disconnect. I spoke with a guy who told me that he did not see where it was scheduled but he would be able to assist me in doing so. Before ending the call, I specifically would there be an issue with my billing, he told me was no. Today 10/11/22 I viewed the online bill. This bill notes 9/8/22-10/5/22, for $58.90. I reached out to Dominion Energy. The first person that I spoke with stated that the bill just needed to be back dated and she would transfer me to someone to do so. After waiting someone did pick up, insisting that I called in on 10/7/22. I explained that I did not call in on 10/7/22, I requested to speak to a supervisor. ****************, came on the line she also insinuated that I was lying because there was no way for me to set up the services to disconnect on 10/2/22, as the computer would not allow me to do so. Again, I'm defending myself and I informed her that that is why I made the follow up call because I was unable to do so online, and I thought it was an error. Aware that I was not going to get any help with this situation I elected to end the call but before ending the call ****************, did inform me that if I was not able to pay the bill that I should reach out to the apartment complex to see if they would cover a portion of the bill. I then explained to her before ending the call that it is not an issue of paying the bill the issue is paying the correct bill and that it is not the responsibility of the apartment complex. I would like this issue resolved quickly if possible so that this will not have any effect on my credit so if someone could please update my bill with the correct service dates I would more than gladly pay the bill.Business Response

Better Business Bureau,
Thank you for the opportunity to assist our customer with their electric service turn-off concern. We regret any inconvenience and frustration the customer experienced as described in her complaint.
The customer stated they tried to turn off service on a weekend scheduled date of 10/2/22; unfortunately, Dominion Energy does not perform service orders (turn-ons and turn-offs) on weekends,which is why this option was not available for the customer on their online attempt. However, with 24-hour notice, the Company will work service orders on business days, Monday Friday.Subsequently,the customer made telephone contact to us on 10/4/22, and the Company scheduled the requested service turn off for 10/5/22, our normal procedure. The Company explained our policy regarding service orders for business days only, not on the weekends.
If you or the customers have questions, please contact Dominion Energy Customer Relations & ***************** at **************. Our hours or operation are from 8am to 5pm, Monday Friday, except on holidays.
Sincerely,

I would like to have my bill adjusted for the actual time that I was under the rental agreement to use the electrical services. It is not made known to the consumer that Dominion energy only works Monday through Friday. this is very disheartening that anyone would have to go to this extent to have a bill adjusted so that the consumer is not paying for service is not received.Initial Complaint

I had a smart meter installed over 2 months ago and my power has been the same amount to the *****. We unplugged everything in the home and have not been using HVAC system. Dominion has not only increased rates but are not reading the smart meters they installed. This is unfair to customers to not read meters that we ultimately paid for and would have been penalized if not switching over. They are clearly not reading the meters.Business Response

Dominion VA power damaged my personal property. when they tried to move my shed out of an easement. I do not dispute moving it. But when house was purchased two years ago the shed was existing along with many others down the street. I was told about an easement that three feet past the shed. So the complaint is that as the property owner was not notified for the removal of property with in the easement. They say they sent letters but never one addressed to the property owner or account holder. The letter that was addressed to - current resident- told of work being done on property. I called that number and asked if my shed need to move and was told it was not in the way of work. I then get a door hanger on July 26th 2022. I then speak with a Dominion employee that says the easement extends to about 8 feet of the house. I was told at that time we were going to be taken to court. I was only notified on the 27th of July of the matter and that we had till Aug 1st to comply. I informed them I would need more than three days. They then said they had a contractor that could move the shed. I asked if I needed to do anything such as removing items from inside and if they would put it back on level blocks. I was told that it was ok and all would be done right. I don't have enough letters remaining to tell how unsafe the crew was. Broke both of my sheds one of which was not in their easement. I asked for them to replace the items that were broken by them they refuse. My stance is if I was given proper noticed I could have moved my stuff with out as much cost Dominion has caused me. The shed that was not in the easement has no right to be touched. So because they are the power supplier they can do what they want. I am now looking for a lawyer to take the case more on principle than financial.Business Response

I was charged a late fee due to an issue with their auto pay program. I called to resolve the issue and was passed around to 5 different customer service representatives. Then the last person claimed to put me on a 3-5 min hold to process my refund but instead the person just hung up on me. The company is stealing from people and refusing to even discuss it or have any way to communicate with the company.Business Response

Better Business Bureau,
AutoPay is set to cover payment for services after each bill is issued. In this instance, the customer had a balance when AutoPay was set up. The last payment on the account was 8/3/22.
Directions during set-up of AutoPay state that current balances should be paid as AutoPay does not take effect until the next bill is issued. For this reason, we must respectfully decline to waive the late fee.
The account is currently set to draft the balance, which includes the late fee, on 10/10/22. If the customer wishes to discuss it further, she can reach me through the Customer Relations & Policy line at **************.

Every time there is a storm my power is out for an entire day or more. Since 9/30 after a long storm that was not particularly bad and did not involve particularly extreme winds, my power has been out for 24 hours. This is absolutely unacceptable. Dominion needs to hire enough people to fix this and they need to fix their electrical grid so that people can live without this distress. They are charging upwards of $200 a month for electricity just to refuse to service their areas. Calling their telephone line beings absolutely no way to get in contact with an actual person. Just automated messaging systems. This, again, is absurd. They have a virtual monopoly on electricity and service in Virginia and it should be unacceptable for them to be this **** poor about servicing their customers. Again, absolutely unacceptable. They are making millions of dollars off their customers an they are unwilling to even send crews out to fix electrical issues. They are unwilling to even have a call center to service their customers. Dominion needs to be shut down and split up. Dominion energy should not be functioning as an american business. Me and everyone else in the ********* code should receive a full refund for the 24+ hours we have gone without power. This is disgusting behavior on the part of dominion energy. They are straight up stealing from their customers.Business Response

I moved out of my apartment mid August and had requested Dominion Energy to shut off services on 31 August through their online portal. After seeing Dominion Energy had failed to shut off services, I called their customer service number and disputed the charges and requested to have services disconnected again. I was told the bill was going to be backdated and adjusted to reflect when services should have been shut off (I was told earliest they can do is 1 September). I received the final bill today for more than what it was last week. When I called Dominion Energy to dispute the bill again, I was told that I will be responsible for services between 1 September and 23 September even though this was a mistake on Dominion Energies end. I am separating from the military and have since moved from Virginia. I understand mistakes are made, but I shouldn't be responsible for them. All I ask is for Dominion Energy not charge me for services that I did not use.Business Response

Better Business Bureau,
We researched the customer's concern and found that there was no request to end service until 9/22/22 which was effective as of 9/23/22. Dominion does not back-date service end requests by the current customer. When we spoke to the customer we advised to contact the landlord to request that the landlord take responsibility for the charges when the customer no longer lived at the residence.
If the landlord calls and requests a back-date we can place the charges in the landlord's name for the time between 8/31/22 and 9/23/22 as the customer requests. Until such time, ********************'s position is the same. If the customer wishes to discuss the issue further, the phone number is below.

There is only ine power service provider in Northern Virginia, Dominion power. I have had an account with them since 2010 spread over 3 addresses. 9 yrs was the longest at one location I recently move and setting up an account that will transfer. They are charging me a securoty deposit where i had never had to do this before. Please keep in mind i have been a customer since 2010. In terms of risk aversion, which is what this is, this makes absolutely no sense and there is no recourse since they have the market. There is no competiton for them here.

As a public utility,Dominion Energy is required to adhere to certain credit policies which are either mandated or approved by the Virginia **************************** that regulates us. With regards to deposit requirements, the policies are designed to safeguard the company as well as our rate payers against unforeseen loss of revenue.
Since Dominion Energy does not have access to a customers credit rating with the three major credit bureaus, the company uses an internal utility credit scoring. As a result, their internal credit rating is a direct representation of their pay history with Dominion Energy.
Residential Security Deposits are requested at the time of initial application for service unless the customer has an established satisfactory credit history with our company within the last twelve months.Our investigation has disclosed that the security deposit was assessed in accordance with our Policy and Procedures and therefore is not eligible for a waiver. The deposit will be eligible to be applied back to the customers account or refunded upon request, with simple interest, when the account reflects at least 12 months of on-time payments, after the final deposit installment is paid.
If you have any questions, or if we can be of any further assistance to you or the customer, please call us at **************.

Per their own words Residential Security Deposits are requested at the time of initial application for service unless the customer has an established satisfactory credit history with our company within the last twelve months.This would not have been an initial application; it would have been to stop a service at one location and start at another with overlap.

Dominion Power and solar panels. If you add solar panels to your home watch what happens, this is my story, I went through the process of adding solar to my home, and it took them 2 weeks to approve the hookup and install the reverse meter. Note* If they install a meter, they do not record the usage and they estimate what they think you owe and have u pay that. From this point on standby. They should be installing a smart meter on your home so they can see what you produce vs what you use. In my case they did not, they installed a reverse meter. It runs backward it starts at ***** and they do not reconcile the account. This will cost you. Now it is summer, my system is making more than I am using, Dominion has frozen my bill for months. I was never given my credits for excess power produced. My bill read a reading of **** kwh from March to August. My meter reading was at **** kwh when replaced. I called and asked them to come read the meter they did not. If you are consuming power off the grid they want payment to the, Milli-amp-second come bill time each month. If they owe you, they let it ride. I became concerned because I understand how electricity works. At peak hours they charge more and during off hours they charge less. Solar panels produce during peak hours. Dominion would prefer not to pay me for producing peak hour electric, letting the bill ride means, when they finally get around to paying me, energy prices will be low or if Im not alert, they will not credit me at all. I had to pay them each month or they would have cut off my service, I deserve the same. I feel like the big kid roughed me up and stole my nickel. We are only talking about **** kwh, but Dominion had no problem charging me for **** kwh that I didn't use. Adding that to the **** kwh that I produced, and they stole more than **** kwh that I produced. Be vigilant and aware of these things,Business Response

Better Business Bureau,
The customer was initially given a bi-directional (***) meter after solar installation and approval. Prior to Smart Meter (***) deployment in Dominion's service area all customers received this type of meter which reads kWhrs delivered and received. If a new solar customer does not wish to wait for an *** meter they must apply for a Time-of-Use (TOU) rate or other rate that requires the *** meter. Customers receive credit for over-production but cannot see it on the bill. They also cannot see daily readings or received/delivered. That does not mean credit is not being given. This has been the process for solar customers for years prior to the current *** initiative.
TOU rates are based on peak and off-peak usage as the customer has stated.
It is important that the customer know that not all service areas have the infrastructure for *** meters so there are customers that will not have *** meters for some time. Dominion was initially limited as to the number of *** installed per VA **************************** requirements. This customer is now in the service area and the *** was installed as quickly as possible.
Customer Relations & Policy actually expedited the install the week of Aug. 15th when the customer filed a complaint with our offices. All Virginia Beach customers have just begun to get *** whether they have solar or special rates. All customers will eventually have ***.
There is no refund due to the customer. The bill now reflects credits that have been given since the customer got the bi-directional meter.
Please note the previous complaints attached to the complaint were not sent to Dominion Virginia Power so we were not given the opportunity to response.
