Nicor does not discriminate.
Everyone is equal and is charged the same awful price for their “service.”
I woke up recently with our Nicor bill on the nightstand. My focus usually is and should be on the tasks of the day. Instead, I called Nicor for options to pay a bill of more than $245. (Until last summer I was on a budget plan until it increased to a ridiculous amount. So I went off of it.)
That morning I was offered two options–go back on the budget plan (which would cost about $114) or declare poverty and go to the Salvation Army for charity. These are hardly “options.”
If you are a senior trying very hard to pay your bills, why is the other option usually a choice that makes you feel a burden to society?
I’m trying very hard to keep up with the times and the bills, but the only options I find are be rich or be poor. There is no in-between.
