Our gas was shut off today without notice. We were on a payment plan because Nicor failed to send us a bill on new construction after we made several calls to them begging for a bill. We were finally on a payment plan and I was late, just several days, on one payment a few months back and on one a month ago. Days not months late. They turned off our gas supply without letting us know and they said they sent a notice. I called them today and could get nowhere. Finally I paid the bill in full on the phone and our gas will not be on until 8/27, FIVE DAYS. I asked why and they said I had to take what the computer is giving me. For all these days we will have no bathing capability, no dish washing, no stove for cooking, no dryer or washer to do our clothes. I am 65 and my husband is 68. Nicor has our money and we have nothing. This is not the way to do business.
