HEY, Consumer Federation of America. Listen up! Overcharging is what our local publicly regulated utility does. Baltimore Gas & Electric with the assistance of the Public Service Commission and the State legislature has stolen millions from residential customers over the past decade. Recently they charged customers interest and fees on a rate deferment plan they forced customers to accept. More recently they offered discounts to customers who purchased compact florescent light bulbs and then charged every customer a monthly service fee to cover the expense of the program. Want more? They also collected $528 million in estimated stranded cost that were never realized and still haven't repaid customers. Insurance Companies are not scamming customers…it's our own Government!
