Hello DR1 Community
My fiance and I rent the first floor of a two story house in Urb. Villa Marbon/ Villa Mella SD. Her first month there the Electricity bill was RD$215.00 I had a 1.5k inverter/charger installed as the electricity is out most of the day and on most of the night. The second month the bill was RD$108.00 I'm thinking this is wonderful!!! Looks like the inverter cut the cost. Well this (3rd) month the bill arrives and it's RD$3493.72. Now knowing how frugal my fiance is (Keeps the lights off most of the day) and the fact that there is rarely any electricity during the day. We have 1- small 21" tv 1- laptop 2- ceiling fans 1- stereo 1- microwave which she never uses, 1- small plastic washing machine, which she uses every sunday.1- cell phone charger 1- Large Whirlpool Frigde (Not Hooked up to the Inverter) and NO AIR CONDITIONER. I find this bill to be unbelievable. I told her to speak with someone at Codetel. The person she spoke to simply told her to pay the bill then come back and talk to him and she refused. he then claimed that it was for the last 3 months. So she inquired about the bills she had already paid and he claimed she was misbilled because they believed the house was unoccupied and she told them then the Rats must have been the ones who came and paid the bills. She told them RD$3493.72 was still way too much for her usage even over a 3 month period and demanded they come check their meter and wiring. They scheduled a meter reading for Next tuesday. and then we will see. The preivious tenant had more electronics as they were running a video editing business out of the house and had AC. Their bill never exceeded
RD$1000.00 a month. We saw the bills and reciepts before we rented. What recourse do we have if any and has anyone gone through this with Codetel before? Thanks in Advance for any Help
