      That's what I keep saying. Now they're going to raise the rate to pay for the repairs from this hurricane. They should have taken care of this a long time ago.!

      What did Centerpoint do wrong? Thousands of crews out there repairing damage over one of the biggest cities in the country, and you’re all whining.

      @@user-ln7of9gs4sthat's why nobody is requesting that the field men are investigated we want the actual company and the higher ups investigated..... DUH.... they raised rates so much one year that my tiny little 2 bedroom apartment (no lights used in the daytime) costed 400$ a month. They are criminals all of them.

    These are issues that should have been taken care of immediately after the freeze or Harvey.
