Fuck Ameren. I moved out on my own and paid my bill every month. Then January comes and the bill is like $400 in 2007 money. They set me up with estimated billing without asking me and intentionally under billed me. Then they did an actual meeter reading after the new rate increase took effect in the new year so they could charge more. The state stepped in and forced them to refund everyone affected by the scheme. I think I got roughly $150 back because of the difference in rates.
Edit: I just remebered that when I moved into my first place the power was already turned on. When I called to have it transferred to my name they said that it shouldn’t be on and that I should turn it off. Then they charged me with a “meter tampering” fee of around $100.
