jerrodh Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm starting an AEP account at my new apartment and they are wanting a $150 deposit, but it appears I can have someone who has an AEP account vouch for me one way or another and they can then waive the fee. Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm really strapped for cash so any help would be great. On a similar note if anyone works for AEP and could help me through this that be greatly appreciated! Any insight will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciongirl Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 yeah, this happened to my sister. they wanted someone who had AEP or she had to pay the fee... unfortunately, i have NEP now so i couldn't help her. im not sure when they started doing this but i dont think its new. good luck!

jerrodh Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah a friend of mine is getting nailed with the same fee so its acrossed the board. I need to call back for details tomorrow. Apparently all they need is a current AEP customers name and account number, but I don't know if that essintially makes them a 'cosigner' basically or what...?

Ramsey Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sounds more like a credit problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJINOHIO03 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 No there just weird. If you pay for a year on time they give you the money back with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Tell them to go fuck themselves. Candlelight is more romantic anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 my old apartment it was in my name, and i got it back after a year. when i bought my house, my g/f set it up since she pays utilities, but i had to sign the paper to vouch for her.

Avenger1647545502 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 No there just weird. If you pay for a year on time they EVENTUALLY give you the money back with a PATHETIC interest rate. Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Fuck AEP. I've had so many issues with those fucks. Regarding the voucher thing, I had an issue with that too. I tried to get my mom to vouch for me when I moved into my apartment, but she recently divorced from my dad, kept the house, and since they had to change the name on the account the only way they could change it was cancel the old account (that had been active for 27 years back when they weren't even called AEP) and they denied my voucher request because her account was too new. Fucking BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Never had this issue and I've moved 4 times in the past 5 years, always had AEP, so either its super new, as in last year since i got new service with them again, or I agree, its a credit issue, lack thereof or negative not sure.

jerrodh Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm sure its probably because of short credit history and the crumbling economy, they are wanting this deposit to try and cover that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
