    Default Electric Company - Rant

    SO I get my e-bill in my email and it tells me that my bill is $81.18, which is WAY too high. I paid almost half that last month, and I've been super good on conserving electric. So, I jaunt outside and do a customer meter reading and my number is way below their estimate. I jump on the intarwebz and punch that along with my billing number into the website designed to accept customer readings. It then pops up with something along the lines of "It s WAY 2 late 4 u give us ur metr numbrz. 2 bad. LOLOL"

    In other words, I had a three or four day window before they sent out my bill to give them a reading, and now I have no choice by to pay twice what I normally do.

    Don't give up! that is total bullshit!

    You should try to talk to someone at the business office first to see if your bill can be adjusted to the correct amount. It is the energy provider's responsibility to accurately read the meter, not yours. They are not permitted to charge you for energy that you did not use. That is outright theft.

    If you don't get the problem solved with the company, then look into the city commissioner that oversees the utilities in your area. If this is happening to you, it is also happening to others. It will be a big paperwork hassle, but this is the kind of crap that Enron pulled before their collapse.

    Just think, maybe some poor, working mother has the same issue with her bill, but paying the extra charge would mean not buying gas that month or a severe cut back on her groceries. Or someone's grandparents will have to go without heat. It is totally uncool for the corporation to do this to people.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
