I am very disappointed in Central Maine Power and their lack of compassion. my young (18) daughter…read moredid not move into the home until January of this year, when they flew from Oregon to Maine to live with her father. Prior to January, they were living in my home under my care. These young girls are not seasoned renters; they are barely adults who were simply trying to build a relationship with Liliana's estranged father. He had not been in her life for 14 years. What followed was a tragic and destabilizing series of events. He was arrested in March for domestic violence, and his wife moved out shortly thereafter. MY daughter and I were both assured by her father that he would continue to cover rent and utilities, as they had only just arrived. However, after his arrest, the court barred him from returning to his home, as she is a witness in the case. Since then, they have been left alone to manage the aftermath of his legal and financial abandonment. They are not responsible for the electricity as they were living WITH others. This is NOT their home. This is not their bill. They are not accountable until the day it was transferred into their names. All previous usages should be billed to the account holder. Especially since they have been told he was going to court to come back home. These young women are now scraping by with minimal income. I'm helping them as best I can with food and gas, but they simply cannot afford to be saddled with someone else's unpaid utility bill, especially one incurred before they ever moved in. Yes, CMP put all of this usage on them and they now have a bill over $400!! I asked CMP with sincere urgency and compassion to waive or remove the back charges from their account. They are not the account holders for the period in question, and holding them responsible for his bill would only further penalize them for circumstances they never asked for. They refused and basically said, "Too bad!"

CMP is the worse power company I've even encountered in any state or city that I have ever lived…read morein. If they didn't have an illegal monopoly on power in Maine I would switch to literally any other power company. A 2 year old child couple operate a power company better than these imbeciles. They seem to delight in randomly turning off the power for planned outages when the temperature is in the single digits. They never notify anyone that they plan to do a "planned" outage. They've ruined several appliances, made me fail a test for a class when I was getting my masters degree, caused many personal injuries with their blackouts. I wish to God that any other power company would come to Maine and reduce us from CMP. There's no way it could get worse.

I had a lab request from my PCP, set up the visit for 8 am the next day. Did the online "paper work…read moredrill" so that all I had to do was check in and I waited maybe 3 minutes and they drew my blood and away I went. Super convenient, super friendly staff and skilled technicians.

(The first company didn't return our phone calls, even though we made it very clear that we needed help right away.) The staff at Beacon Hospice, on the other hand, helped us immediately, understanding that time was of the essence. Within a single day, they had answered all of our questions, ordered a hospital bed, conferred with our Dad's doctor, and taken care of all facets of his care, making it possible for us to spend more time with Dad. They visited him every day, kept us updated, answered our questions, and were available to us 24/7. We couldn't have asked for a more efficient, communicative, and sensitive staff. They were wonderful to work with and gave us the exceptional service we needed during such a sad time. I recommend Beacon Hospice wholeheartedly.
