Section 165:55-11-6 - Service disputes

(a) In case of controversy arising out of the refusal of a telecommunications service provider to extend service or out of its efforts to disconnect existing service, either party or the Commission staff may make application to the Commission for relief pursuant to OAC 165:55-1-7, OAC 165:55-1-10. If there is an unresolved dispute pending with the Commission concerning a bill and the end-user pays the undisputed portion of that bill, disconnection procedures shall be held in abeyance until the dispute is resolved.

(c) The telecommunications service provider or the end-user may seek assistance from the Commission to review records of the telecommunications service provider and the end-user concerning the end-user's complaint.

(d) After the Commission has notified the telecommunications service provider of a complaint or inquiry from the end-user regarding the end-user's account, the telecommunications service provider shall coordinate communication with the Commission Staff regarding the complaint. The Commission Staff shall be the intermediary between the telecommunications service provider and the end-user until the resolution of the problem has been completed.
