Technician was dispatched.According to the Technician, the Unit couldn't be repaired but to be replaced.However, I will need to pay $ ******, plus permit and other fees.It is beyond my budget, PSEG Gave me no option to find a more reasonable quote.I reached out to AOSmith for a requisition. *************** wanted me to contact "********." That is the company that installed the unit for PSEG. Neither PSEG and *************** can provide me "********" contact information.I need help getting the services that I paid for.

PSEG and I have reached an agreement where they will cover the cost of the
Hot water Heater that was installed on 3-16-24. My cost will only be the
permit and the processing fees. I am satisfied with this outcome, and as
a result I would like to put everything on hold pending final outcome.
I have been in touch with *************************, PSEG Supervisor. I have reason to
believe that PSEG will fulfill this obligation. If anything, please feel
free to reach out to me at my cell: ************.
Yours truly,
Jarteau ******

Pseg installed a new smart meter in the summer of 2023 and I see 3 out of them 6 months 3 are estimates. I called on 1/29/24 and spoke to customer **********************, they stated the meter is not working and needs to be replaced and will be in 2-3 days. Nobody cared to fix or address the issue and reach out to me. It is now 2/9/24 and it still has yet to be done. i expressed how important it is, so I am not going to get a BIG *********************** in the mail and assured me it would be replaced and I would recieve a new bill for the actual and not estimate reading. I also a while back I specifically said I do NOT want estimates so for them to turn around and do it without even telling me what is going on is unprofessional!Initial Complaint

I arranged my method of payment with PSE&G of ** as automatic payment each service period per month since December of 2022. On September 27, 2023, PSE&G took the designated monthly period payment of $****** dollars out of my bank account. On October 10, 2023, PSE&G reversed the charges of ****** back to my ******* account. I contacted TD headquarters and disputed PSE&G's reversal, thus the money, $****** was returned to PSE&G. I received in the mail a letter from ******* dated October 10, 2023 the information of my contact with the ******* representative at their headquarters and the actions they took to give PSE&G back their money of $****** dollars. I have worked with 6 different supervisors since October of 2023 to resolve this single issue. I even emailed to one supervisor as well as the general email box at customer ********************** my ******* account statement as well as the letter from ******* dated October 10, 2023. I even offered a 3 way conference call with one of the supervisors, myself and a TD representative from ******* headquarters. He refused. I was put on cash only from the first supervisor I spoke to in Customer **********************. I mailed a money order December 13, 2023, and received a letter from PSE&G dated December 15, 2023 that my "check" was destroyed. I called PSE&G and spoke to a customer ********************** representative who stated that my "check" of $****** was destroyed because I am on a Cash account basis. I informed the customer ********************** representative that I gave PSE&G Cash; a money order of $******. Therefore, I have been working with an additional 4 supervisors to rectify 2 problems caused by PSE&G. I cannot get any answers as to Why the automatic payment of $****** was reversed after 2 weeks in your accounting system and my account showed a 0 balance. Secondly, I cannot get an answer as to Why my Money Order was destroyed. One supervisor asked me if the money order was cashed. I went to my new bank and got the money order for $****** re-issued. I received my new invoice for the Jan-Feb service period and got another money order to pay for this service period, $170.06. I had called on Tuesday, February 6, 2024 and asked a supervisor for their **************** contact number. I was called by this supervisor today, February 8, 2024 that their **************** informers her that my inquiry is not fraudulent. I never spoke to anyone in PSE&G fraud department. This supervisor started to ask me questions as to the reasons to speak to fraud. I stopped the conversation because there should be many many months worth of notes and I want to speak to fraud because the $****** is in your system. Tomorrow, February 9, 2024, I will mail 2 money orders, 1 for ****** and the other for $******. I want PSE&G to call and mail me a very apologetic letter and erase the $****** dollars as they return my balance to 0 with receiving a check in the future from me. I refuse automatic payments.Business response

Dear *********
I received a second phone call from a PSE&G of ** a representative from that company. Her name is ******* . Her first phone call to me was February 8 and het second phone call is February 17, 2024. Again, the same questions as of October 2023. I gave ****************** my ******* statement with the account ending 1316. And a second letter from ******* dated October 10, 2023 ******* just lied to me about my bank. She would state she has my bank statement of the ******* account statement ending in 1316 that I had emailed to ************************* . That statement has the ****** dollars listed on it that was taken out of my bank account by PSE& G. Secondly she will not verify if she has the ******* letter dated 10/10 23 that I disputed PSE&G reversal giving that money back to PSE&G . I asked her why they reversed the money to me ****** she said TD did not accept the payment. That is a lie I asked her if she has my ******* keyter dated 10/1023 she could not answer. I told her that she must have notes from October 2023 to present from 7 supervisors I also said I have wasted so much time calling and emailing to have this resolved and *********************** refused a conference call frim *******, me, and *************************. Lastly **** the first supervisor who I had tried to solve this issue for no reason put me on cash only. I pay for money prefers and they destroyed a money order that I had paid for because they thought it was a check. I have that letter dated December 15 2023. Thus company does not know what they are doing. I will only communicate with them if they state their questions in writing and my answers in writing coupled with all of my documentation that I emailed 2 times to them. This company is abhorrant, non professional, and liars who think they can shake me down. I have all my documentation One supervisor **** supervisor in Customer ********************** was going to write it off however I said no I want to know that the information I gave them from my bank is correct. Not one person contacts me to accounting. They just want a shake down. This is abuse and I am a senior citizen.
Please contact them with this letter I will not speak to them directly I will speak to them with you and should you request my documentation I can send you immediately.
Thank you

Customer Relations attempted on multiple occasions to have a conversation with ***************************************** to address her letter. The customer becomes very apprehensive when asked questions stating that she doesnt want PSEG to reach out to her anymore and releases the call. My investigation indicates that PSEG took a payment on September 26th, for $175.41 and on October 11th the payment was retuned. Per our payment ********************** the customers bank did not approve or process the payment. This information was given to the customer when she contacted PSEG. The customer was referred to her bank. ************************** indicated that her bank sent the payment back to PSEG, but we do not have any record of that transaction. When the customer was asked to provide proof that the payment was taken from her account. The customer became irritated and released the call.Customer response

I am rejecting this response because:
I have spoken to numerous customer ********************** representatives and 8 customer ********************** supervisors. When they call each one has no idea why I filed a BBB compliant. I have emailed 3 documents to one of the supervisors *********************** who refuses to answer any of my questions. I emailed my ******* statement with the transactional amount of $175.41 taken out of my TD checking account ending in 1316 as well as the October 10 2023 ******* statement whereby PSE&G reversed the money back to my bank account 1316 after 2 weeks of processing. I contacted ******* at their 800 number and disputed their reversal. I also emailed the ******* letter dated October 10 2023 that stated my dispute of their reversal and
return of $175.41 to PSE & G The PSE&G representative who wrote that message is not hearing irritation but frustration when all 8 of the supervisors have no notes or any points of discussion. I think they are trying to wear me down. I also have a letter dated Dec 15 where my money order was destroyed because they thought it was a check . The level of incompetency is amazing and very disturbing to think this company would be responsible for electric cars, stoves and etc when their customer ********************** lacks authenticity for a company that has served *** for decadesRegards,

Complaint: 21267353
I am rejecting this response because: PSE&G response is not accurate. Jazara , Customer ******************** located In MA called me admitting she has ******* letter dated October 10, 2023. The ******* letter indicated that I disputed PSE&G's reversal of #***.41 dollars returned to my ******* checking account two weeks after they received my ******* payment from my checking account; I had an automatic payment method with PSE&G and on September 27, 2023, PSE&G took out their service fee of $***.41. As previously stated, two weeks later, October 10, 2023, PSE&G reverse their service charge $***.41 back to my ******* checking account. I contacted the ******* headquarters and disputed PSE&G reversal. The ******* letter, dated October 10, 2023, that ****** admits she has in her possession, explains that PSE&G's reversal was disputed by me and the PSE&G service fee of $***.41 was returned to PSE&G. Should PSE&G not have that money there is an internal problem. I spoke to the second supervisor, ***********************, from Customer ********************** Department, located in *************, ** that ******* will set up a conference call for the 3 of us. He refused. Seven 7 supervisors later they are starting to admit they have at least 1 of my documents I emailed to ***********************, the ******* letter dated October 10, 2023. Another abdicator of an internal problem, I mailed a money order to PSE&G on December 12, 2023 and I receive a letter from PSE&G, they destroyed my ************* money order because they interrupted the money order for a check. Thirdly, another internal problem is I have spoken to 9 supervisors and 9 customer ********************** representatives to solve this problem since October 10, 2023. Each time I receive a phone call, the PSE&G representative is incorrect in their information they say to me. And, I have to repeat the whole story from the transaction date of September 26, 2023, the 24 hour period they have my money in their account, September 27, 2023, the October 10, 2023, PSE&G reversal, the ******* letter dated October 10, 2023, that I contacted ******* headquarters to Dispute their Reversal and the October 10, 2023 letter also states that ******* took PSE&G reversal money of $***.41 from my ******* checking account back to PSE&G.
I ended my conversation with ******, I like a 0 balance on my PSE&G account and I choose to mail a check as payment to PSE&G. This has been an extremely difficult issue for PSE&G to resolve. As a former managerial consultant, they must have many more internal problems that they cannot resolve.

Our family had a very close friend who was an employee of PSE&G for almost 40 years. As a gift to both of my children, he purchased some shares of PSE&G since he was the head of PSE&G's shareholder services. The shares are held in an account with both my children's name and my name. My children used to get their stock statements mailed to them quarterly showing the dividends and dividend reinvestments. A few years ago, the stock statement stopped being mailed and recently, my children received threatening letters from PSE&G's near shareholder services company, EQ, stating that they were going to escheat the funds in the accounts since they my children had not contacted EQ for over three years.I have never heard of such a ridiculous statement in my life. EQ threatening to dissolve accounts. When I called EQ, they kept me on hold for 30 minutes as they tried to locate the accounts. They wouldn't allow me to access the accounts online unless I received an authorization number in the mail, which I had to wait 10 days for. When I received the authorization number, I still couldn't access the account because the email address they had on file was no longer active. I called them a second time and spent another 20 minutes on the phone with them. They told me that I had to have the account transferred since my children are no longer minors and they would send paperwork, which would have to be completed and then mailed to them. They advised the transfer would be free of charge.The paperwork states something completely different. They require $200.00 for a transfer. After reading 59 NEGATIVE REVIEWS about EQ on the Better Business Bureau website, I believe PSE&G has an obligation since they outsourced their stock ownership to the DISGUSTING, LOSER, INCOMPETENT COMPANY. Someone from corporate needs to contact me to assist me in getting my shares. This is equally a disgusting move by PSE&G to force their shareholders to deal with this disgusting company.Business response
