Utility scams are a popular tactic where scammers impersonate utility companies to get unsuspecting consumers to pay. Read June's scam of the month to see how these utility and disconnect scams work and what Hiya users are reporting about them. https://lnkd.in/gfdJw24N

If a customer is overdue on their utility bills, their power cannot be shut off during the winter months – however a load limiter can be installed. One question we frequently get asked is what is a load limiter? Limiters allow consumers to use a reduced amount of electricity. If too much electricity is used at one time, the limiter will 'trip' and turn off your power. This is restored within 30 minutes, typically. To get the limiter removed, you will need to pay your account in full, plus a reconnection fee and a possible security deposit; or your retailer accepts a payment plan and chooses to restore the utilities based on this payment arrangement. If you have any questions regarding limiters, reach out to our mediation team today by calling 310-4822 or head to our website: https://buff.ly/49aQbpS. #UCAHelps #UtilitiesConsumerAdvocate

Electricity is a lifeline, and consumers deserve reliable access. Electricity distribution companies (DISCOM) are required to compensate users if they have intentionally implemented power cuts, resulting in interrupted power supply for customers. Rule 10(3) of Electricity (Rights if Consumers) Rules, 2020 ensures 24x7 supply in urban areas. If a DISCOM disrupts service intentionally, consumers are entitled to compensation, as are those facing service failures. Though determining fault isn't always clear-cut, guidelines help compare outage frequency and duration. These regulations bolster consumer empowerment and hold DISCOMs accountable. I have discussed the above in my recent article on The Economic Times (accessible here: https://lnkd.in/gHb8N-Az) #Electricity #consumerrights #powersupply #legal #law #lawyer
