I am just so happy to see you back and posting. We live here. We pay, simply we have a community who pays. We all pay together, and something goes wrong, we all complain together. A while ago, three of us were standing outside in the streets, all together on the cells phones, and we were all complaining --- tied up all the lines and carried on complaining until we had service.Criss Colon said:It is stolen from the Electric Companies!!!

I wish people who actually lived in the DR,and knew what they were talking about would post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:bunny: My mother and father in law pay for the electric thy use in the DR why dont the electric companys take the people to court who do not pay and fine them like they do in the UK and other country,s or let them pay on a card every week so its not a lot to find when the bill comes in or have token meters maybe they would find it easy to manage there money a lot of people on welfare in the uk pay every week or have a token meterChris said:I am just so happy to see you back and posting.
