Stupid F*cking Nevada Power!!

What is it with utility companies and their incompetence?

I moved to a new rental home on Nov. 1. Prior to that, I called Nevada Power (Las Vegas) TWICE to make sure they got the switch over. I have received final statements from the old place mailed to my new address which have all been paid.

So, I get a call from my landlady at 8AM this morning telling me that the electric wasn't switched over to my name on Nov. 1...she's still getting bills in her name. When I got to work, I called NP and got their lousy answering service, and while I'm on hold, my wife calls to tell me that a NP technician just showed up at the house to turn the power off! Luckily, she was home (the power box has exterior access - if she hadn't seen the guy, he could have shut it off and left) and stopped him. He gave her a number to call and she got everything switched over. The phone operator acted like it was no big deal - "that happens sometimes"!

WTF! It would have been great to have a freezer full of food with no electric because "that happens sometimes."

Arrrrgh!!

of Nevada Power?

edited...think it was Southwest Gas... never mind!

but this company is always stupid. Look at al they did when Calif. was deregulating, etc., Enron, etc.
