OUC Orlando Utilities Commission Website Problems to Increase Profits, Late Payments and Past Due Charges
Recently after I had just finally gotten used to navigating through OUC's awful website, they changed it so now consumers have to click through several screens to locate their account records, charges and (as if that is not enough already) OUC then makes you click on another link to make a payment.
Although the consumer's account number had already been retrieved upon logging into the OUC website, Orlando Utilities Commission thought when it is time to pay that their website should direct consumers to a few more pages to delay the process.
Then to further frustrate consumers OUC makes it so on the final pre-payment page consumers again have to put their account number in (beyond the username and password that previously seconds earlier retrieved the numerical account number).
So if consumers can remember the OUC numerical account number, they then have to type it in (as you cannot copy and paste it from the previous page - another OUC web design trick) the payment page before OUC allows consumers to pay.
As a result of all OUC's website nonsense I was late a month making a payment and OUC charged me a
Past due amount of $3.41 which they greedily charge interest on monthly to increase accordingly if you resist paying it.
OUC Orlando Utilities Commission's website is designed to delay consumer payments, cause late payments to occur and increase their revenue (in my opinion).

Seasons of Suffering
Seasons of suffering
Dear God, will they ever end?
Seasons of suffering
Bringing me to my wits end
Seasons of suffering
Teaching me heartfelt obedience
To live in the realm of the Spirit
Seasons of suffering
Until I embrace and heart it
Seasons of suffering
Grinding down my motives
Seasons of suffering
Persistent like a locomotive
Seasons of suffering
Continually coming
Although I be running
Sometimes in anger cursing
Always hating and resisting
Such perilous times and measures
Yet within my heart is a treasure
A far greater weight of God’s glory
Therefore He applies divine pressure
To change my wayward character
To rewrite my pitiful life story
To add integrity when I don’t care
To give me peace deep within
When I want to pull out my hair
To calm my nerves, silence the storms
Help a heart that is worn and forlorn
To uplift my spirit when I feel like a worm
To encourage my heart when I wish to depart
To comfort my soul and make me whole
To restore to me what the devil has stole
Seasons of suffering not always as they seem
For in actuality God is good when He seems mean
Nevertheless when you learn the life lessons
He’s endeavoring to instruct and teach
In the end you shall rejoice and be complete.
Therefore surrender to your heavenly Father
Your distant heart, dirty hands, and frail feet।
