It is called "Line Maintenance Charge" on each power bill you get. It's a bit of fine print that should work in your favour. |

| 1254114 | 2012-01-19 22:44:00 | Beetle...Look at your lastElectric bill, there re two parts to it. The amount you pay for th electricity yo use +gst. The Line Maintenance Charge + gst. The second is the same ripoff that your telephone company works, have a look at that bill as well. It is an amont that is biled each month in case they have to do repars to youlr power line, Have a look at the fine print. To my mind there should be no charge from whoever pullsthe fuses & disonnects the cables o your house & puts them back. PJ |

| 1254119 | 2012-01-26 06:03:00 | It probably doesn't matter, but I would have thought they would put a half hoop on the top of the pipe to keep water out. | Alex B (15479) | ||

| 1254122 | 2012-01-30 03:47:00 | Ok i now have a grump.............. Looking closely at the bracket it is fine, but the way its fixed and holes not filled leaves me a bit grrrhhh And then to top it all off today, i get a phone call.........stating it cost far more than initial verbal quoted, 3 x the initial quote but they will take off a certain amount and i will only have to pay double the amount........ where do i stand? i sent him a email saying initial verbal quote etc, had time to think, blah blah blah sorta stuff and basically said it was not my fault he under quoted, and i would like a reply please........ are verbal quotes binding? or because it is not on paper i have no leg to stand on? Initial verbal quote, $400 at most he said. PHone call today said $1100 and something...........its a blur cant remember exact amount. But he will take the cost down to $700 and something am i in the right? or in the wrong? i am not happy and am going to struggle to find the extra amount....... :( |
