COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Some Branch County residence have now been without power for five days since severe storms swept through southern Michigan last Friday.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is urging residents and businesses still enduring power outages to report their experiences and seek automatic, overdue financial compensation.
Utilizing the Department of the Attorney General’s dedicated online feedback form, consumers can officially log their utility grievances and inquire about service credits. Nessel emphasized that this state initiative is strictly designed to hold major utility companies accountable and ensure that regular consumers receive the financial relief they are rightfully owed after thousands faced prolonged, disruptive blackouts across the state.
To support affected communities, the Attorney General’s Utilities page https://www.michigan.gov/ag/initiatives/utilities has published comprehensive resources to help individuals navigate the Michigan Public Service Commission’s (MPSC) credit criteria.
In addition to utility accountability, state officials are issuing critical consumer alerts regarding rampant post-disaster scams. Residents are strongly advised to remain vigilant against immediate repair fraud by demanding formal written quotes and thoroughly reviewing all contract terms, especially when electronic documents are difficult to read on mobile devices.
