I have two properties, each with a separate account. Both bills are mailed in one envelope, and paid in a single check. One was on time, and the other late. How the heck can this be? Eventually some class action lawyer is going after Duke for this practice, and it isn't going to be pretty. Easily could cost Duke BILLIONS, not millions. PS in addition to being a rate payer, we are stock holders in Duke
