For over a year now we have been fighting Con Edison for overcharging us. In August of 2005 we received a bill of over $1,700, ususally our bill varies between $80 and $140. We called Con Edison informing them that we live in a 2 bedroom apartment, and that this amount was impossible. In January a technician come out to check our meter which is located in the basement of an MRI office located in our building. They said that the meter reading was correct, and to pay this amount. We had always been on time with our bills, and feel like we are fighting Goliath. We don't know what to do anymore. We contacted the Consumer Protection Agency here in NYC but they haven't done anything for us. What else can we do?

Thanks for your help,

Gabriele Gorden

I have a mother daughter house and 2 meters we did not use any electricity for 2 years and yet we have been overcharged over $100 for not using any electricity for 2 years! They claimed that it was a basic charge but I used to have $0 bill for about a year after we stopped using that apt and unplugged all appliances. We are charged $100 a month for the unit we lived in that was equipped with energy star appliances LED lights and no ac! We are miserable during those summer months. I wrote to them like a million times and every time they make me sound like a dumb person. They estimated bills from 2 years ago how smart right?
I feel that Con edison has no right to collect tax and any fees when there is no usage and they should put the CEO in jail for doing this. This is fraud. If any one is going for a class action I'll be a member

Since 1998 I have started to notice that my ConEdison monthly electric bill going up so fast, and it doesn’t look right and reasonable. Even their yearly statistical comparison diagrams were wrong, therefore I pointed out the mistakes to ConEdison, and in the meantime, I filed Complaint Form to NYS Attorney’s Consumer Protection Division. Not too long the ConEdison called me and sent their staffs to check our apartment basement, and after a while, the ConEdison seems to have changed their basement meters, and the monthly bill seems back to $30 something, then gradually the monthly bill went up and down, which was starting on 03/18 /2019 bill was $43.87, 04/15/2019 was $37.31, 05/13/2019 was $39.32, 06/13/2019 was $38.59, 07/15/2019 was 45.62, 08/14/2019 was $41.10, 09/16/2019 was $39.86, 10/15/2019 was $42.04, 11/13/2019 was $37.77, 12/16/2019 was $38.57, 01/15/2020 was $60.95, 02/14/2020 was 40.38, 03/19/2020 was $41.74, 04/22/2020, was $40.84, 05/18/2020 was $40.79, 06/16/2020 was $45.77, 07/14/2020 was $49.50, 08/17/2020 was $46.32, 09/14/2020 was $43, 10/15/2020 was $52.56, 11/12/2020 was $62.75, 12/16/2020 was $58.37, 01/19/2021 was $71.80, 02/16/2021, $73.09; and I include the monthly electric bills
from 2019/03/18 to 2021/02/16 for your reference.
