Additional description

What is a utility bill dispute?

A utility bill dispute is a formal complaint about an incorrect, excessive, or unexplained charge on your electricity, gas, water, or waste services bill. In the US, Public Utilities Commissions (PUCs) in each state regulate utility companies and provide a formal dispute resolution process.

Common utility billing disputes

Estimated meter readings

bills based on estimates rather than actual usage

Billing errors

incorrect rates, duplicate charges, wrong account billed

Unexplained usage spikes

sudden increases with no clear cause

Unauthorized services

charges for services not requested

Disconnection disputes

improper or illegal service termination

Deposit disputes

excessive security deposits

Consumer protections

Most states prohibit utility shutoffs during extreme weather, for certain vulnerable customers, or without proper notice. Your state PUC can order service restoration if a shutoff was improper.
