DTE Payment Assistance Program
An Important Notice from DTE Energy Regarding Payment of Your
Utility Bill
December 15, 2008 DTE Energy /MichCon has a long history of working with customers to
resolve customer payment concerns in an effort to avoid shutoffs.
As you can imagine, current economic conditions have made the effort
even more difficult as the scope and scale of those in need rises
exponentially. Additionally, the continued upward price pressure
on natural gas has not helped. As a result, the amount owed by
customers with payment problems has escalated to historic levels.
With each passing month, tens of thousands of our customers are falling
further and further behind in their utility bills. Consequently, DTE
Energy is forced to manage this issue far more aggressively than it has
in recent years. This will undoubtedly result in shutoffs for
customers who have not been able to otherwise resolve their past due
balances. While we plan to implement shutoffs on a schedule
consistent with industry norms and Michigan Public Service Commission
guidelines, we plan to continue to proactively offer customers
opportunities and support in reconciling their bills. We will
continue to actively enroll, and provide shut-off protection to seniors
and qualifying low-income customers who remain enrolled in the Winter
Protection Plan.
For information on DTE Energy's Payment Assistance Programs, click here. We're
making every effort to reach out to our customers to make them aware of
the programs and services available to help them avoid shutoff.
We're immediately taking the following steps:- We are reaching out to community groups, elected officials,
community leaders and, most importantly, customers, to help spread
the word about this effort and direct them to sources of help. - We are giving customers who have defaulted on previous payment
agreements, a last chance to re-enroll in a payment plan. In spite of these steps, we recognize that these are difficult times for
our customers and that our collection efforts may result in further
hardships. If you encounter one of our customers, a client or
constituent of yours, or perhaps a friend or family member that finds
themselves in need - please direct them immediately to the link above,
or to our customer service line: 800-477-4747, where they can access
information on a program or service that may help them avoid a utility
shut-off.
