If you have a dispute with a regulated utility or transportation company, you should first try to resolve it with the company. Many disputes can be resolved by asking for a supervisor. If you are unable to resolve the issue, please contact the UTC.
If your utility service is in threat of disconnection, please call the Consumer Protection Help Line directly at 1-888-333-WUTC (9882).
