Man I tell you what..... I'm so damn sick of electric companies "estimating" monthly bills. Our electric company will estimate the bill and claim it was weather related.. They even do this when the weather is decent.. For the past two months they have estimated my bills.. I'm the Residential Manager of the apartment building I live in, and I actually have two apartments... One is a really small one that my wife and I use for storage. It's only used for anything serious in the summer time.. The refrigerator is unplugged, and anything that can suck juice is turned off and unplugged too. My bills for that place have been $5.00 a month. They estimated my bill last month and jumped that puppy from $5.00 to $30.00.. What pisses me off is that we didn't use ANY power over there that month. Then I get another bill today and my current billing. Again those SOB's estimated the damn bills when the weather was good and they could have read them. This time they over estimated my bill by 400 points.. One bill that went from $5.00 to $30.00, went from $30.00 to over $60.00, and again we didn't use ANY power over there.. Plus our main apartments bill has been grossly over estimated too. On top of that we realized today that they never turn our deposit back into our account. My wife had to call and make them do that. If they estimate my bill again next month, and the weather is good I'm using my Firms attorney's and nailing those bastards. So far on our small apartment for storage I've been overpayed by $80.00 in the last 2 months and overpayed by over $40.00 for our main apartment.. So in the past 2 months we've paid like $130.00 extra. That's bull****. Just wanted to share my frustration.
