POOR SERVICE
I received an invoice in August saying I must pay R87.00 which I paid. In September 30th I received an invoice to pay R2512.00 and on the 1st October I called in to dispute the invoice. The lady did not know what was going on she said the reading was the same as June which I found to false because in June I paid too much because of the incompetence. I sent an email on the 1st October and I was promised that they will into this matter. It took them 19days to get back to me with a lousy story that didnot make sense. So I told them I will pay half the amount as they told me they were investigating. I paid R1250. They came back to me telling me their system had a problem hence I paid R87 in August. And I told them this was not my problem and I will not be charged any penalties for this. Today October 27th, they sent me a letter saying I must pay the outstanding amount in 2 days if not a penalty fee of R500 and something would be charged and my electricity would be disconnected. I told them this in all the emails I sent them that I will not be penalized for their error that they didn't even advised me and apologized for. From April I have been paying exubent amounts for electricity and when I call nobody knows nothing but send threatening letter to DISCONNECT my electricity and tell the amount to pay yo have it connected again. This has been a very painful hassle. Now they want me to pay in 2 days, let alone the fact that they have not even sent the current invoice and today is the 27th October. I am threatened that I will be charged the penalty fee...why? What happened was not my problem at all. I can not be penalized for that and be threatened that my electricity would be disconnected.

It was explained in the email communication that the electricity reading for the Aug invoice unfortunately did not pull in for the invoicing process, and that the consumption for both the Aug & Sept invoicing periods is reflected on the September invoice. The September invoice amount is therefore absolutely on par with your normal monthly consumption.
Your account is indeed correct and payable. Should you need further clarity hence forth kindly get in touch with management on the queriesatproteameteringdotcodotza email address for additional assistance.
