Never in my 47 years of living have I had to pay $286 for a deposit to get electricity on.. are we not All God's children that's supposed to be treated with respect and kindness how does this fall in that category ripping people off when we're already starving to death I only eat once a day as it is because the government inflation .. so Dominion energy is doing inflation on people that are already starving and dying and homeless I was homeless for 3 months before I even got this place so I got to cough up $286 I don't even have.. I paid my bill every single month for the last 20 years so why do I have to pay a deposit if I've been your customer that long so obviously you don't care about none of your customers you don't care if anybody even gets electricity on it so good luck in hell cuz that's where you guys are headed for ripping people off for no reason whatsoever I can see if I never paid my bills yeah good luck thanks for nothingDominion Energy South Carolina Response

They were clearly not prepared for Hurricane Helene. 8 days later the power in our subdivision has yet to be restored. SCEG refuses to provide any status as to when restoration maybe expected. Many surrounding homes serviced by SCE&G have restored power. Dominion's website states they're focus is the hardest hit areas. These homes were not as affected as some who remain without.Review from Julia L

After Hurricane Helene they are clearly not prepared for anything. Florida had 3 million without power, within 24 hrs it was down to 500k. In Aiken SC we are on day 3... Most of the county has no power and we check the outage map hourly... We have 1.25 million without power... After 3 days they are bragging about getting 200k power back. WTF?!?! Watching the areas that were barely hit get full service restored while nothing is happening here. We drive around town... Literally see 2 crews of about 3 people working. Unacceptable. Period. I hope the State investigates this company for negligence. Send some crews to the HARDEST hit areas .... Don't focus on businesses 1st focus on residents who are suffering, throwing away 100s in food products, sweating in 90 degree temps with 80% humidity. They are literally unprepared and doing everything backwards.Review from Phil M

I recently sent an electronic payment to Dominion, unfortunately an additional number was added to the payment, so instead of 346.12 it was cashed by Dominion for 3461.23 which they gladly accepted. I have been calling them since July 25th to try and get my money back and they have stone walled me since. The excuses were had to wait for check to clear, originally telling me 10 business days, they have since taken another payment for August, now telling me I can’t get my money back until August 21st, they’ve basically have my money for a month and they have lied to me first telling me 10 business days but actually it’s more like 21 daysReview from Brian clark C

I paid them $50 for a seasonal parking at their boat ramp at the damn on Lake Murray. The third time I tried to park there, I was turned away because the parking lot was 2/3 full and by manager’s standers it was full. I reached out to the manager of lake management and he said that is the new rules and no refunds. Is it me or is this an unfair business practice by a large energy company?Review from Kia H

In July 2023, I was notified through the Credit Bureau that Dominion Energy reported a “charge off” status for my account (3-2101-3317-1599.) Dominion Energy refuses to remove the “charge off” status from my credit report after numerous attempts with customer service via email. I am disputing this debt because I never received a bill or notice. I do not reside at the residence the bill was sent, and I had no knowledge of the bill. I have never lived at the home address where the bill was sent. Dominion was aware that the property was a rental property and had my physical address in another state, where they sent other mail correspondence for another rental property. I wish to settle this debt in full without prejudice in return for removing the “charge-off” status with all and any credit reporting agency you have reported to. I am a service-connected disabled veteran, and this is impacting my livelihood (credit score). It is unethical, and the customer service lacks empathy for their customers.Review from Crystal C

The customer service with Dominion is horrific. They own a pole behind my house where they allow other companies to co-locate (hang their lines). Some of the lines fell in my backyard. Because they were cable lines, Dominion would not do anything and could not even tell me whose lines they were. They were not running to my house, just fell in my yard. So, I had to call every cable company in the area to figure out whose lines they were and to get help. This is ridiculous. You own the pole, you should have a list of who has lines running to the pole. This was a dangerous situation. My small children could touch the lines. Dominion was zero help.
