calling utility companies to have stuff turned off. I call electric, gas, waste management, SL, no problems everything goes real smooth................. then I get to COH water, wait on hold forever, finally someone answers and  takes all the information & when I get to the date to have it turned off, well they can't do that.   I need to call back July 29 or later,  becasue they can't have that information until 2 weeks before and not a minute longer. What the ****   Why not?  How stupid! 4951

You have to pass an idiot test in order to work for COH. If you have more than a 5th grade education, they pass you over. 4951

I thought coh was bad until I tried getting the water in my name with the MUD I'm in now. It's taken nearly 6 months to get it changed. I can't wait to get that 1st bill for 60,000 gallons of water! 4951

The electric company gave me an issue at the new house.  Power has been out since January and the bank had to call to have it turned on for 1 day.  Naturally, I thought the power was off.  Nope-it is actively on and in someone's name.  They will not transfer it until that person calls and has it turned off.  How can it be turned off when it wasn't on in the first place??? 4951

@BooBear:  Wow, I can hear the squeaking of the back-pedaling all the way across town.  Ooops!  We all know what you meant, but it sure is entertaining to watch this all play out.

It took me 6 months to get a water bill. Crazy. For $34 a month. They gave me 6 months to pay it off along with the current so I throw a few dollars in and they are pretty nice. It's a private well owner.
 
The garbage is another story. Never in nearly 55 yrs have I ever had this much trouble getting regular pick up.
They want 3 months in advance with twice a week pickup. They give no credit and don't have a problem only picking up once a week.
I do.
Beside I recycle paper and plastic at the college.
I might as well get a compost pile going. 4951

@beadweaver: we have the same issue with garbage pickup. Our trashcan has been sitting at the curb full since Saturday since they forgot to come by. I'm hoping it's getting picked up today. We also recycle at the school and I have a compost bin so luckily we can deal with the spotty trash service. 4951

@Maisey1:
 
I'm sick of them wanting prompt 3 month payment up front and they can not fulfill one full week of service properly.
I'm on my third company.
All ya need to do is rent a truck and slap your name on it. Your only job now is drive around because that's how we found 2 in our hood. They call you take their money and leave the trash for someone to grab. Or until you and your spouse call 6 times each a day spewing obscenities on them for 3 months. You might the get a money order, minus the cost of the money order.
 
Halfazz jobs drive my OCD over the edge.
