I strongly suspect they called to put me on the budgetted plan so that they could keep my heat on,? |
I rented an apartment and moved in in December 06, Had to leave to Florida in early March and so kept everything off except for the fridge. Realized that my electric bills were going high, called up my leasing office to inquire what was going , a lady tells me that they turned it on to enable the water in the whole unit to flow, they deny this happened, I lived there alone, but they had access to my unit. I asked the electric company about it and they told me that I was put on a budgeted plan through an automated system and so could not tell who did it. I asked them to cut the line to avoid further use of my electric and gas. The office sent out plumbers to fix something in the block, they put all sort of things in my bathroom, left it unusable and I sent a letter for explanation. They comeback to clean it up and this time left the tap on and flood up my apt. They told me that they'll change the carpet, but now tells me I have to have electric b4 they do that, what must I do? I can address the carpet installation aspect of your problem. If you have a room that is more than 12 feet wide or a more than one room where the carpet connects you will need electricity available for the installation. The seam iron used to join the carpet requires electricity. Also installers are not willing to work in extreme temperatures, nor should they have to their job is very physical. I say bite the bullet and turn on your electricity and request the electric company only bill you for actual usage. You may want to contact the Public Utilities Commission for more information about what is or is not allowed with regard to billing. |
