“Illinois consumers frequently complain that they cannot get reliable information from the utility companies,” CUB Executive Director David Kolata said. “But CUB’s experts will show consumers how they can lower their bills by hundreds of dollars a year. That’s good news in a struggling economy.”

CUB is Illinois’ leading nonprofit utility watchdog organization. It was created by the Illinois legislature in 1983 to represent the interests of residential and small-business utility customers. Since then, CUB has saved consumers more than $10 billion by helping to block rate hikes and secure refunds. For more information, call CUB’s Consumer Hotline at 1-800-669-5556.
