STSS and Balwin Body Corprate are colluding!

STSS and Balwin Body Corprate are colluding. Inconstistant billing, abnormally high tariffs and zero transparency when it comes to meter reading seems to be their modus operandi. The number of similar complaints on this platform are overwhelming which shows the seriousness of this matter. I am a resident of Amsterdam Estate for a while now and I have seem my usage double since the implementation of the STSS prepaid metering system. When calling into the call centre, the finance department can not even justify some of the collections they are making. This is not a prepaid system (pay as you use) This is theft!!!

Please be advised that STss bills and recovers based on the physical meters owned by Amsterdam, and that all recoveries are paid over to Amsterdam BC weekly.

STss invoices for its services monthly on the basis that collections are supported with physical readings to the respective Managing Agent.

Reviewer Update
I have had deductions of equal amounts going off for two consequtive days. R67.18 for gas and R20.94 for water. How can my consumption be the same for two days in a row? I would like to have these meter readings made available to me please.

You outlining your procedures does not make them ethical. Hiding behind the body corporate also doesn’t exempt you from this theft!

I have read all your reply’s to complaints and it’s always the same thing. No efforts to resolving complaints what so ever. Pathetic! I called your call center and they told me that they do not know why the system is deducting the same amounts daily from customers and that IT is looking into it. Had I not called in, you guys would have just continued to bill me for as long as I kept topping up my wallet. You are *******!!!
