Dallas resident DeAndre Upshaw says it was “very shocking” when he saw that he was charged nearly $7,000 on his electricity bill.
“While I m trying to get gas and groceries and make sure that my pipes don t explode, the last thing I m thinking about is a $7,000 bill from my utility company,” Upshaw told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield.
Upshaw said he attempted to switch his electric provider from his current one called Griddy to another, but his new company kept pushing back his start date.
