I have a credit card that I pay all my bills with. I've set up automatic payments with each of my bills and then once a month I pay off my credit card, effectively turning several bills into one. Well, just the other day I received my electricity bill, in the mail stating that I owe $503 and it will be paid by Auto-Pay. WTF? It said it was due to NSF (non-sufficient funds). I looked on my October bill and there was no mention of it at all. It was only for that month's electricity. The same with my previous bills. I looked on my credit card statement and sure enough, there were no entries for my electric company, EPUD, after March. Well, they don't have to know that. Besides, I haven't gotten any notices or anything that they haven't been paid. Normally they'd shut off my electricity after a couple months. |

If you were double charged, you should follow their advice and contest it with your credit card company. |
|
Thanks for moving it and replying. |

If they are charging you late fees then you have a case against them. If they are just charging you the money you thought you paid anyway, whats the problem? |

He want's to know if the problem is a legit way to keep from paying a 9 month old bill, that he should have been on top of in the first place to know that there was no money being taken out of his account. |

If you aren't being asked to pay late fees, and you used the electricity, the right thing to do is to pay up. Yes, the billing is their problem, but they're not likely to see it that way. Be honest with them, tell them it is their problem if you wish, but you should be prepared to pay them when they do not agree. |
|
You used the service and have not paid for it yet, so there is no question that you owe them the money. |

You're going to have to pay the amount you owe no matter what happens. How you pay it is what you should discuss with them, maybe even ask for a discount for the trouble. |

You do owe the Electric Company 9 month's pay. |
