Eskom account *****

This is the most useless organisation in the world !! The website allows one to submit meter readings on a monthly basis. These are completely ignored by Eskom who still send out an estimate and bill one accordingly. The problem is that my estimate is 80% higher than my usuage. This is tantamount to ***** on a massive scale. They reconcile the account when they read the meter (if ever). Because of the payment structure you could pay for higher tariff energy, but get "cheaper" tariff electricity adjustment. They get money for nothing - pay higher tariff, get lower tariff adjustment. They do not pay on electricity used, but on a financial rate. If your are R4000 in the black you will get R4000 of electricity at the going rate. You lose out.
