Hi Chris, Many people are refusing to pay their opt out fees and paying their usage portion on time. If you feel they are harassing you, file a complaint with your state utility commission or consider going to small claims court to recoup costs etc.

So $20 a month for them to read the meter for month 1. Then get an estimated bill for month 2. Then when cycle starts over and meter is read on month 3, the new charges are entered and at that point they make adjustments to your bill based on the difference of your second month and what was actually billed. Why not just come out every month to avoid issues? Besides that, I have a problem with the fees to “opt out” of having a smart meter. The reason why I made an issue of it all of a sudden is because my power was”accidentally shut off” which is BS! That pushed me to make an issue of it to get it removed but was turned down to any deferrals of their fees. What can I do? I am in Pinal County Arizona.
I thank you in advance,
Christopher Cruz

They are starting our “upgrade” in 2017. We have an “opt-out” program which literally would double our electric bill. I started the conversation with the electric company and I am awaiting a response. Also, I contacted our town mayor and county commissioner who actually agreed with me that pushing ‘smart’ meters on people is illegal, but no one is enforcing this. I am now in conversations with our Public Utilities Commission. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

We settled after they offered us an analog and no additional fees- all we wanted in the first place! See: https://stopsmartmeters.org/2015/07/06/victory-in-16-month-standoff-as-psrec-drops-fees-and-restores-electric-service/

So many people in Australia caved in to the bluffs of installers and power companies only to now see that they were lied to and are now worse off. Those who didn’t cave in are rejoicing.

Your sacrifices will benefit everyone who is suffering from EHS or who simply understands the risks inherent in being exposed to nonionizing microwave radiation day and night. In Indiana we are still stuck with the meters. Not enought local people to stand up to the regulatory commission or the utility. Your fight is everyones fight. Thank you to you and your family for sticking with this and for all tht you have done and continue to do. So many are suffering and are unable to mount a fight.
