Utility Bills?

Question

Does anyone have this problem of paying more than what was initially agreed to pay on utility bills. And when u call an agent to solve why u r being charged more, you end getting confused by their explanation. For instance, initially I was told that my charter monthly payment would be $79.99. But now I am paying more than $100 a month. For my energy service I feel like I am being ripped off every month. On their statement, I get all these lists of payment&bill details which confuses me and ends up with no argument when talking to an agent. As for the cell service, it always feels like the minutes run out so quikly that I am forced to buy more minutes to fulfill my needs. All these utility companies are rip offs, do u agree?
By the way, I use charter communication, txu energy, and t-mobile.

Answer 1

Charter cable? Sounds like you had a special offer that expired and are now paying full price. The bill should detail exactly what service you have. Sounds like you have digital cable and internet service. You can downgrade to cheaper service -- slower internet and fewer channels.

You can save on your cell phone by getting a plan with more minutes and/or learning more self discipline and NOT hang on the phone so much.

By the way, I don't consider either of these utilities. My definition of utilities are the gas, electric, water, sewer, and trash collection.

Answer 2

You can easily solve two out of three of your problems. Cancel your Charter service and cancel your mobile phone service as well. Neither are necessities of life.

You can help control your utility bills as well, simply by using LESS of what they provide to you.

Are you getting the picture now ?

Answer 3

I went over my minutes one month and paid a $513 bill. Gad that hurts!

I got smart, and bought the biggest plan they have for $20 a month more, and I never go over now.
