Re: Avoiding utility deposits

We are currently on TWP, but none of the utility companies asked for our status.

Maybe I should have also added that we were on WP and not PRs at that time. That could have made a difference :confused:

I don't think so, I'm a citizen ;) It all seems very regional, a good introduction to how things are done in Canada!

I should have said the company that didn't want one was Manitoba Hydro, and the company that did is called Essex Power.

So more totally different experiences of the same thing then.

Just like experiences with the banks, the airlines, government offices etc etc.

Re: Avoiding utility deposits

When we moved here we purchased property that had 3 connections - one for a commercial premises, and two for domestic properties. We had to pay a security deposit to each supplier, for each property (ie hydro x3, gas x3). It cost over $5k in deposits, and they're being held for 3yrs. We'll get refunded this August.

Nova Scotia asked us for a $150 deposit but when the bill came through it was $100. Told we would get it back with interest but can't remember when
