Petitioner: Atul Ratra 13660 Montfort Drive, Apt 2058 Dallas, TX 75240 PUC TEXAS FORMAL COMPLAINT PETITION 33 5 3 Respondent: Gexa Energy 20 Greenway Plaza, Suite 600 Houston, TX 77046 FACTS: 1. I had electric service through Gexa Energy at my apartment address on 7780 McCallum Blvd #25103, Dallas, TX 75252 since August 2005. 2. On 7/25/06, I called Gexa Energy s Customer Service to move electric service to my new apartment address on 13660 Montfort Drive #2058, Dallas, TX 75240. As I was unsure of my new apartment number, I informed the agent that I would call back after confirming my apartment number with the apartment complex. 3. On 7/25/06, I called Gexa Energy s Customer service again and provided my new address information to process the move order. 4. On 8/28/06, I called Gexa Energy s Customer service number and discovered that Gexa Energy had not moved electric service to my new apartment address and was continuing to bill me for electric usage at my old address that was now occupied by a new tenant. The customer service agent informed me that there was no record of a second call when I had provided the new address information. The agent then scheduled a service move order for 09/01/06. 5. On 8/28/06, I enrolled services for my new apartment address with Reliant Energy. I called Gexa Energy Customer Service at 3:46pm, to cancel my service with Gexa Energy altogether, stating explicitly that I did not wish to move services as I had requested earlier. I was told that the services would be canceled with effect from 08/31/06. 6. Gexa Energy failed to remove the move order request from their system and processed a move order on an already canceled service (canceled as of 08131) on 09/01/2006. As a result of this, Gexa Energy slammed my current electric connection and became electric provider at my new apartment address on 09/01/2006. 7. On 09/05/2006, I informed Gexa Energy Customer service that they had slammed my electric connection against my wishes. Gexa Energy then processed a service disconnect to remove themselves as the service provider at my new address with effect from 09/08/2006 and billed me another set of cancellation fees. 8. In addition, Gexa Energy billed me cancellation charges for my original service at 7780 McCallum Blvd#25 103 (Cancellation date: 08/31/06) 9. Gexa Energy also billed me (move in meter read fees) for moving my original services to a new address location, with a transfer date of 09/01/2006. 10. I filed an informal resolution request with PUCT with complaint# 2006090287. On 10/03/06, PUCT closed my informal complaint based on three telephone recordings Gexa Energy provided to PUCT in this matter. 11. I requested Gexa Energy to share call recordings for my call to their Customer service number on 08/28/06,3:46PM that would have proved that I had wanted to cancel my service instead of moving it to my new address. 12. On 11/20/2006, Gexa Energy sent a letter refusing to disclose the recording that I had requested from them.. a d> 0 + Page 1 of 2

PUC TEXAS FORMAL COMPLAINT PETITION (Contd.) 13. My previous and current apartments are within city limits. I have also recently submitted a complaint in this matter to the City Attorney s Office of Dallas. 14. Prior to this formal complaint with PUCT, I have written four letters to Gexa Energy requesting them to investigate their Customer service center s call records rather than merely relying on their agents notes to trace my call on 07/25/06 and to review my conversation with their agent on 08/28/06,3:46PM but have not had any success. I hereby assert and plead that: 1. Gexa Energy failed to move electric services to my new apartment address despite my request to do so in the two calls I made on 07/25/06. 2. Gexa Energy s agent on 7/25/06 call acted negligently and did not enter my call information in their data records with my new address information. Further, upon discovery of such an act of omission by their agent, Gexa energy is suppressing this evidence to their advantage in this matter. 3. Gexa Energy acted negligently yet again and failed to notice that the original service they were canceling on 08/31/06 had a pending move order associated with it in their system for 09/01/06. Upon cancellation of the original service on OW3 1/06 for which Gexa Energy billed me 15$ in cancellation fees, Gexa Energy failed to remove the pending move order from their system and processed that move order on 09/01/06 on a cancelled, invalid service. 4. Gexa Energy has omitted the call I made on 07/25/06 from their customer call records that they presented to PUCT in this matter. 5. 1 do not have a copy of any of the three call recordings Gexa has used to present its case to PUCT in its defense to my informal complaint and that Gexa Energy has refused to disclose the same to me thereby restricting me to validate what they sent and do discovery in this matter. 6. Due to Gexa Energy s negligent mishandling of my simple move request on 7/25/06 and thereafter, their connection slamming action on 09/01, I have been billed for two service cancellations fees by Gexa, three move-in meter read fees at my new apartment, electric usage charges at a higher rate by Montfort Valley during August at my new apartment complex and service charges for another tenant s electric usage at my older apartment. As a resolution to this complaint, I plead that 1. Gexa cover the additional charges of $306.30 (from Appendix 1) that I have been billed for during the period (07/18-09/08) as followsa. Void current outstanding charges that Gexa has billed under two accounts numbers: 447463-3 & 690672-3 in the amount of $161.79 & $68.91 respectively b. Issue a credit check for the remaining $75.60 amount to me 2. Gexa further reimburse all costs that I will incur in pursuing this complaint including work time missed, attorney costs and travel costs to Austin, TX to attend the final hearing.
