There are very simple way of checking this type of thefts. Switch off the source it self, and check if your energy meter is still working/ revolving. If yes, it means that your doubt is correct. disconnect that load first by calling the experts of the system. and then check further.

I am assuming you live in Texas... you need to switch to Relient. That's what I have and they have MUCH better rates. Unlike TXU, they will actually work with you. Also, if you don't wanna switch companies, keep your ACs down to a minimum and keep a lot of fans going. Turn of lights in rooms that are not being used. Hopefully that'll help! Had my electricity turned off back in 03' because TXU wouldn't work with me so I switched to Relient and haven't had ANY problems. Also your city might be able to help because they know that the elderly and people with small children cannot afford the bills and will not accept a very hot house and the possibility of something happening. Hope this helps!!!!

Unfortunately, Rico...it's been my experience that the light at the end of the tunnel is usually a freakin' freight train! And...no, they won't pay your electric bill.....they'll find a reason to sue you! :o)

Their defense will be that you knowingly used their services.  By making a payment you agreed to the contractual agreements.  I don't think you will win this one with such a defense.  Sorry.

Your fee sounds reasonable, but you can probably increase it a little. Just hike it $5.00/hour (plead expenses such as gas have increased) for about 3 or 6 months, then hike it $5.00 again.

no way, sorry. what you have is an asset, not an expense. \n\nif the money was stolen or the contractor went out of biz, you might have a casualty loss.

I think I would try to hang tough and make it difficult for them, but I think you will probably have to pay.  In fact you are probably not the only person that was over-paid.  \n\nHowever, in your negotiations/discussions with them, make sure that they re-pay YOU for the 10% penalty and tax that will end up on you tax return for the year because of the pre-mature withdrawal of the funds to pay them back.

When I had my rentals I charged based upon the area, the amount of utilities included plus a few extra dollars that could accumulate incase there was any major fixing up to do. Look in your local paper and base it upon some of the rentals that seem similar to the type you are renting out. Also try contacting a realtor to give you an estimate on the monthly payment to charge.

There is an evident discrepancy between what you claim is actual use as to what the electric company has actually read.  Something is not right.  When you first moved in, there should have been an accurate starting point reading.  If not, then that is one issue.  Another, sometimes a person uses enormous amounts of electricity (growing pot for example).  Another possibility is that the meter itself is defective and so you could ask that it be checked out.  You would need to rule out that you have actually used an excessive amout each month.  There is a reason the company came up with its figure.  Find out exactly what the rest of the story is.

15 rupees? HAHAHAHAH I know you live in India.  Knowing that information you probably bought the drink from a bakery.  Since you brought the drink from the bakery you probably didn't get a receipt.  So guess what?! Your outta luck.  You have no proof they charged you 15 rupees vs 9!\n\nThey can charge you whatever they want.  Next time find out what they are charging.  It's like here in America\nIn some stores the Red Bull Energy drink costs $3.00\nIn other stores the Red Bull Energy drink costs $2.00!

Unless your landlord is paying for your water himself, there is NO WAY he can tell you how much water you should be using. Think about it, would you ask him what cable you should get, or how high you should turn on your heat/air conditioning? If he is refusing to fix something that is his responsibility, sue him. If he requested a copy of a bill that is in YOUR NAME, sue him as well, that's invasion of privacy (unless his name is also on the bill).

Do they have a web site?  If so I would check there (and let me know if they do, I looked and couldn't find one).\n\nOn another note, I would be cautious of a company that didn't tell you what they do.  Most are very happy to tell you.  It could be that they want you to find out on your own, just to see how resourcfull you are.

You would be charged an over the limit fee every single month you were above 3K... I hope you can pay it off fast, otherwise you are going to pay alot of finance charges. I don't think they can "punish" you though... just charge you and maybe close your account to new purchases.

Try notifying the company offering the rebates. It is fraud you might report it to law enforcement, not sure what they would say or do/

That depends on how honest you are. There is a good chance that someone else is being charged for your bill, there are often times screw ups in the wiring and he electrical setup, so if you are an honest person, you should call and find out for sure what is going on.

Perhaps you mean the Billback cost recovery system described in the source link.  Good luck.
