I called to transfer service and was told I needed a deposit. When they told me that the deposit was going to be 2000$ I was astonished. According to them the deposit policy is based on a combination of your credit score and previous usage. So for me the deposit was 2x the highest bill based off the last 12 months of usage. The previous tenant to this house was a cannabis farmer so the usage was threw the roof. My cousin and I have lived here for 3 months and have yet to pay over 100. They have zero compassion for special situations and are not here to help whatsoever. I am forced to have pre paid electricity service due to them being the only available provider of electricity in my area.
