Spoofing Alert Consumers Please Take Note: Scammers appear to be using the PUC’s Consumer Assistance and Safety Division’s (CASD) consumer assistance hotline number (800-452-4699) to disguise the actual phone number that they are calling from. This practice is known as “spoofing”, a situation when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to a person’s caller ID display to disguise their identity. Consumers have reported that they received a call apparently from the CASD telling them that they are behind on their utility bill and directing them to send payment immediately to avoid disconnection. The CASD would not do this. The CASD always issues a formal decision letter resolving customer complaints that is sent either by email or U.S. mail.
Annual Change of Late Payment Charge Interest Rate and Interest Rate on Customer Deposits Issued Pursuant to Chapter 870 of the Commission’s Rules. (November 23, 2020) - Late Payment Letter
