Definition of Complaints and Inquiries

Consumer Inquiry
An issue PSC staff can resolve without contacting the utility company. Inquiries also incorporate EFIS Quick Hits that include "referrals" to other information sources on matters over which the Missouri PSC has no jurisdiction (cable television, Internet, service providers, satellite dishes, etc.).
Complaint
An issue typically involving a utility billing, payment, service or safety issue that requires PSC staff to contact the utility company for mediation or resolution. It does not necessarily mean the utility has violated Commission rules and regulations or the company's tariff.
