My house here was a model home, and was one of the first houses built in the area. It was built before any of the streets existed, so it had no street address. Being as it was a model house, it was fully powered up for a few years while people walked through it.
When I went to change the power into my name it was a huge hassle. Every time I called they told me that my address didn't exist and passed me up to a manager. Every time the issue was "unresolved". They even had me read the serial number off of the meter outside, but told me this number didn't exist.
After a year and a visit to their main office in Sacramento, they finally sent someone out. I'm not sure of the details, but it was some kind of special arrangement with the power company and the home builder. I didn't pay for power or gas for six months and never got billed for it.
Fuck 'em.
