Come and remove your wire. We're better without your light. We will not pay more for darkness . NEPA was better. We enjoyed our 2 days OFF 2 days ON yet we paid less. Now we pay even more in darkness. Which country does that to his people in this millennium? 2 Likes |

emmanuelpopson: Yours was just 3 months? I had my light disconnected (with disconnection order) and applied for prepaid since August last year. They just brought it last month after several back and forth. Issue I'm having now is, disconnection was done on the 31st of July, and all outstanding arrears were paid in August, yet I was charged for August, September and October last year (at about 18k per month). New battle now is how-to rectify that amount so that it doesn't reflect on the prepaid considering we were already disconnected in July |

They all just decided to mad for this month's bill. Since Babatunde Fashola left the Ministry, the DISCos have just been misbehaving, commiting fraud yet EFCC is blind to it. Imagine Eko Electric Disco reply after I complained on tripling my bill: 1 Like

Imarnuel08: While you should continue to pay the #3,500, you should write a complaint to the DISCO for adjustment. If no positive response, escalate to the NERC. As soon as the NERC contacts them, you should get a positive response from the DISCO. For the DISCOs, the fear of the NERC is the beginning of wisdom. |

nuti: Were they officially informed in writing, that the flat is empty? When a flat becomes empty, the landlord is supposed to write the DISCO to inform them. Otherwise, they will continue to send bills. The landlord should go see them and explain. |

adanny01: This is how the billing is calculated: There is a Feeder with Meter that serves a given area. At the end of the month, the Disco staff will go to the central Feeder and read the total amount of energy consumed by the customers in that area. Then they will subtract the total amount recharged by the Prepaid Meter users. The balance is shared among the estimated bill customers, usually equally. So, if a lot of the Prepaid Meter users cheat (and most of them do), the bill for the estimated bill customers will increase. So the Discos are basically holding the estimated bill customers responsible for the cheating being carried out by their neighbors. It's unfair but that's what's going on. The Discos need to find a way to catch the cheaters and penalize them. In any case, if you are aware that a neighbor is cheating, it will be in your interest to report them. The cheating is not only when they are tampering with their meters. It could be someone operating a mini factory from their house. That would increase the bill for the neighbors and needs to be reported. No Mr Nice guy or Ms Nice lady here. 2 Likes 1 Share |
