DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Watts Guerra Craft believes that TXU and/or its affiliates may have knowingly overcharged certain residential electricity customers at commercial rates. TXU’s rate-overcharging practices may have affected thousands of unsuspecting Texas residential electricity consumers.
TXU was sued in a class action lawsuit brought in Travis County by owners or management companies of multi-family or housing dwellings/complexes located in TXU service areas, who were charged under a residential or “Business Classic” rate and were assessed sales taxes on electricity provided by TXU for any billing period after July 1, 2002. Thomas Crowson v. TXU Energy Retail Company LLC f/k/a TXU Energy Retail Company, LP, No. D-1-GN-07-003901, in the 126th District Court, Travis County, Texas. TXU later entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement that settled that action.
Currently, Watts Guerra Craft believes that TXU may be subject to an additional lawsuit with regard to rate overcharges, as a different group of potential plaintiffs, residential customers, may have been overcharged in a different area of Texas.
