They sent a notice on July 31, I received it August 4th, and they said they would change the rates August 6th. I couldn't possibly get another company to pick up the service in 2 days. I have arranged another company (Startex) to pick up the service September 2, 2008. I called the PUC and asked how can they let these companies double rates on a two day notice, and the receptionist said to file a complaint, and that they get a lot of complaints on this issue. My question to you is, will a complaint work, considering your article, and how the Commission is appointed ( by Rick Perry ) ? Also, what is your take on Startex Energy ? Thank you, David Altmeyer Hello,
