I’m not sure how energy companies get away with what they do, but Duke is the absolute WORST. We lose power CONSTANTLY, they are RUDE, unhelpful, and not transparent AT ALL. I’m not sure how they get away with monopolizing electricity, but Duke is an un-constitutional company that needs to be investigated. IMMEDIATELY.

I have excellent credit and they have the gall to charge me $180 to use them that I have to pay in 2 installments. Had FPL for years and always paid on time before bill was even due. Never had to pay a fee like that. I dislike this so called company intensely, their customer service i(if you can call it that) is beyond lackluster, their billing procedures are horrible (can't even get a monthly paper bill in the mail), customer service reps that I dealt with exemplify what not to be and and overall they suck.

Duke Energy was the only company during the pandemic that continued to work with the families that were struggling to pay bills. They went above and beyond what others have done. The customer service employees are very kind and understanding as well as easy to talk to speaking clear English. I just appreciate each employee and want them to know how special they are.

The workers don’t respect your property. Had a truck in my backyard and they left tire tracks and branches they had cut on my property and broke my wooden fence. Next time I won’t be so nice to them. I didn’t report them but next time I hope they bring wings to complete there job.

I signed up for autopay in April 2022. By doing so, I agreed for my Duke Energy bill to be taken out of my account on a monthly basis. I did not initially receive bills from Duke Energy and therefore called Duke to ensure my account details were correct. I was told they were, and it was confirmed that I was signed up for autopsy. In July, I received an $11,000 charge from Duke Energy. I called in to investigate the charge, was told the charge was made in error, and the charge was reversed. I received a charge on October 11, 2022 for the amount of $864. I called in to Duke Energy to investigate and was told Duke had not been charging me monthly because of the erroneous $11,000 charge and that when Duke corrected the $11,000 error, it triggered the system to charge me in one lump sum for the entire 6 months I had been living in my home. I did everything I was supposed to do as a customer. I signed up for autopay where I agreed to be charged on a monthly basis. I called in multiple times when I noticed Duke was not fulfilling its agreement and taking the bill out of my account monthly. Duke charged me $11,000 in error which had prevented its system from taking my bill out monthly. Duke has now, without my permission, charged me in one lump sum for a 6 month period, although I had only agreed to pay monthly. It is Duke’s fault that I was not charged monthly. It is Duke’s fault I got an erroneous $11,000 charge. And it is Duke’s fault that I was then unabatedly charged a lump sum $864 for a 6-month period instead of the financially manageable monthly payments I signed up for. This is unethical and 6-month payments is not what I agreed to with Duke. I have since received over $100 in overdraft fees from my bank and am placed in a status of financial hardship. I require a resolution from Duke in the form of a refund and payment plan or a discount. I do not understand how a company could care so little about their customers, their well-being, and so little so that they would cause them financial hardship even though the customer did what they were supposed to and the fault lies with the company. Most hurtful thing is the company customer service rep said to me "you would have owed the money anyways."

I have been a Duke customer for 14 years now - SO they have gotten more than $50,000 from me. I added solar to my home and now they implement a $30 minimum bill saying, "this is to make it fair for all customers" What a crock. This minimum bill was created to directly discourage Solar installations... in "the sunshine state"! And don't be fooled by their "CLEAN ENERGY CONNECTION" program aka CEC. These solar farms they boast are not built on wastelands, they are built in places where there is ecosystems. They are now shading an area that hasn't been shaded and creating a "carbon footprint." Your home has ALREADY made its carbon footprint. What better place to put solar than on your home which already exists. The only time the CE makes sense, is for a home/condo owner who realistically cant benefit from putting solar on their home. Duke implements a "minimum fee" as a cost for being on the grid, and their profits soar to a net worth of over $14 billion!!

Duke Energy employees refused to assist or remove charges on a total of 6 accounts they opened in error in my name. After calling to complain supervisor refused to close the accounts Cheryl until I begged her others stated that 1 call in nov 3rd requested meter installs and new service at 6 separate addresses they set up 6 accounts under my name and social at a unoccupied new construction apt complex. Per the RFL lead sone specially gave my info. The entire situation of commercial units accounts being set up in an individual name makes no sense they insisted that i file a plice report I did, report to FTC I did they will not remove the balance and want me to pay 600. They never even pulled credit to open the Account will not close so I must report the fraudulent activity duke incident # 1009393412. Mooresville police report 2022007451. FTC 154775011
