Email Us Your WE Energies Horror Story!

I literally can't get power hooked up in my name anywhere WE Energies is at. I got cancer and was in the hospital 6 months. Meanwhile I got evicted. I am back on my feet now but because of the energy bills I could not pay I have been black balled by this power company. All my power bills are in my Mom or Brother's name.

I got to my shop on Friday with no power to my building. Called WE Energies to find out the bill had been paid in full. They would not turn it back on until I paid a different bill at a different address. This is a bill for a separate business related to a tenant that they will not change over into my tenants name. They demanded $25,000 today and $15,000 per week until paid in full. Plus I had to accept a previous bill they had forgiven for $30,000. No choice. Nonsense!

We Energies dropped a transformer through the roof of my business. It was attached to a rotten electrical pole that I called about three times over 6 months. Finally a storm knocked it over. My insurance would not pay for the damaged and said it was a matter of making a claim with WE Energies. I did that and WE Energies denied the claim saying I had to pay the $50,000 in damages! I sent a picture with my story. 

We Energies turned off the power at the business I work for in Milwaukee WHILE I WAS IN A FREIGHT ELEVATOR. I am just an employee. My boss tried to call and explain but they would not budge. I lived in that elevator for 3 days before power was restored and I could escape. My workmates tried to rescue me with ladders and ropes without avail. I practically had to drink my own urine and catch rats to survive and maintain my 340 lb frame. When I exited the elevator I lost 40lbs. THANKS WE ENERGIES for traumatizing me for a lifetime.

WE Energies shut off the power at my home in West Milwaukee. I told them I had someone with medical devices hooked up on a prior phone call. They obviously did not record that because they shut me off anyway. When I called them and explained they sent a team out to reconnect right away but honestly he never recovered from the trauma of that day. He regressed badly and died a month later. 

My sister lives in a high rise in downtown Chicago. She is also married with no kids. She makes 5 times what I do. I have 4 kids and a small farm to take care of. I was surprised to find on a recent visit that she is paying less than me for electricity. HOW?? In Chicago they have choices. Those choices between power companies have equaled better pricing in a city that charges more for practically everything. A McDonalds meal is $20 in Chicago. WE Energies would charge us $30 if they sold hamburgers. 

I was in a bathroom at a local restaurant in Bay View when the lights when out. The bathroom had no windows so it was pitch black. I was right in the middle of doing my business when everything went dark. What transpired after was pure horror for my pants and self esteem. I could not find any toilet paper in the dark. Even if I could I would not of been able to see what I was doing. I had no choice but to pull up my skin tight pure white hot pants and try to find a way out. I had gone commando that day like many other days, but on this day it was a BIG BIG mistake. It did not take long for a big brown stain to soak through into the rear of my pants but it was dark I could not see anything. When I finally found my way out and walked through the sunlit restaurant I heard gasps of disgust. I have heard "She MESSED herself!" in a reoccurring nightmare for months and months. I will never where white again. How can they just turn off the power without knowing if it is safe? I will never forgive WE Energies.
