Public Utility Consumer Rights
The external electric meter on house was faulty. Complained several times w/ no action. Finally had second source remove meter, found burnt plug. Second source re-used damaged meter because our utility Co-Op '' didn't have any,''.
Finally had an energy audit, replaced old meter, found breaker box dangerous and non-complient w/code - being replaced right now by Y-CAP agency. External meter never checked despite Federal utility regulations. They hold a debt for over ten thousand dollars. We do not believe we owe them that much due to the faulty meter.
Who should I contact for legal advice concerning arbitration or mediation with our Public Utility to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your time.

You might start with the Maine Public Utility Commission.
