I got my TXU electric bill the other day and it was for $555.00 and it was less than I was expecting. So that was good. If they had not added on the re-billing amount my bill would have been $91.97 for the month.
I called them up and asked about their six month payment plan. The woman said do you want to make some payment now. I said yes and said how about $100.00 and she said OK. So she took my card information.
Then she said for the next six months they will add $75.00 to my bill. I said OK. I said do I need to pay this months bill and she said no the $100.00 took care of that. I was expecting to have to pay this months in addition to the $100.00 so that worked out OK.
So I am all set. I am guessing that during the hot months of July and August that my electric bill is going to be very high and that extra $75.00 a month is going to hurt. But I can make it OK.
I think, I am not sure, that the commission only allows TXU and the other electric corporations to go back five months when doing a re-billing. That is good because just think about the bill someone could get hit with if they could go back an unlimited amount of time.
I think for a commercial customer they can go back six months because I saw a news story that said TXU had re-billed the Fort Worth school district for six months.
