“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else been hit with a massive Pepco bill lately? This morning Pepco notified me that it has “revised” my bill to $918. When I called, a customer service representative told me Pepco had read my meter incorrectly for months, and this latest charge is a “revision”
to correct the error. When I asked for more information, I was transferred to a voice mailbox and haven’t yet received a callback. Pepco has given us one day’s notice to pay and plans to take the $918 from our bank account tomorrow. Our monthly bills have been on the low side, but I find it hard to believe that I’ve underpaid Pepco nearly a thousand dollars over a few months. We are just one house! And we aren’t energy hogs! It seems insane to punish me for Pepco’s mistake. Do I have any recourse here?”
