I don't know if this is true or not but a relative told me that AEP will reimburse anyone that was affected by the snowstorm that doesn't get food stamps up to $400. I don't live in the area so I have not called AEP about it,but for anyone that does and has really suffered a loss it would be worth looking into. hope this is true and helps somebody.

In a related story, I "heard" AEP was asking for a 43% rate increase.

They can afford it! They ask for a damned increase every two weeks!

I don't see why AEP would reimburse anyone for what Nature did. As someone stated earlier... It's not their fault. I think these fellas deserve a pat on the back for leaving their families around the Holiday to come help "Our Families" have power for Christmas. It has taken quite a while in some areas, but every where I go I see several company & service trucks. They really seem to be doing the best they can.

<quoted text>Isnt that the truth! I'm so fed up with AEP it's ridiculous! There was a transformer that blew up on the property next to mine, well we called and reported it, and it still took them 2 days to get out there and fix it! Not because of the weather because they came straight out to look at it but didnt come back for 2 days to fix it, then we had to give them a right of way through our property to get to this other property to fix the problem they ended up doing around 8000.00 worth of damage to my property just to set another pole in! I raised enough hell that they are going to fix it at their expense but in the future if they want to cross my property for anything they will have to have a court order!

Was this on the Welch-Pineville road?

<quoted text>No it was in the princeton area, but I'm sure they are going all over doing this kind of thing, I'm disgusted with them!

Same thing happened on the W-P road. A transformer blew up as soon as they got the power hooked up and they told them that it would be at least the 24th before they would come back. There were 4 houses affected by it. I don't know when they came back, though.

<quoted text>AEP is just getting ridiculous in my opinion they keep raising that bill, and they want their money on time, but when it comes to help of any kind or even just them doing their job in a timely manner you cant get them to do anything, I guess they know we have to have the power and they are the only place to get it from so they can do whatever they want to! The only reson I let them go ahead and cross my property to start with is because there was 44 people without power from that one pole being down and alot of elderly live in my area and theres some small kids in the neighborhood to, I never dreamed they'd tear up hell to set one pole back! Even though they are fixing it back it still upsets me because we are planning on selling our house this spring and I'm hoping and praying it looks right if the landscaping turns out looking bad the value of my property will go down. Thanks again AEP for a job not so well done!

Since this area was declared a "disaster area" by the governor it looks to me like the state could get some federal funding to help replace all the lost food and the extra kerosene, candles, gas, and whatever we had to buy to get through the storm. There's not a hope in He&& that AEP will reimburse anyone.

They don't care anything except making the big bucks during this. If they would spend some of that "raise" that they keep getting, we wouldn't have all of these problems. They never replace any of the lines or do any upgrade on anything. I say that if you get your landscape back as it should be, it will be up to you.

<quoted text>It has nothing to do with replacing lines, it has to do with mother nature and a major storm which caused multiple tres to fall taking down the lines. It was then delayed by people stealing the copper wire out of downed lines and by the boondogle the OES office and the Gaurd made by determining where to send crews and what priority certain areas wer on the list.
