Jorge: Hi. How can I assist you today?

 

you: my name is [omitted name], care for my acct #?

 

you: i need to discuss payment

 

you: and the recently waived deposit for my account, i called earlier today

 

Jorge: I will be happy to assist with the payment.

 

you: but the person has gone home

 

you: ok

 

you: can you see notes from my account?

 

you: [omitted name] , ###########-##

 

Jorge: Yes I can may i verify the name on the account and the service address?

 

you: [vital info omitted]

 

Jorge: Thank you for the information [name omitted], how are you this evening?

 

you: great

 

you: watching the game

 

you: just gotta get this done, but i see the online balance does not reflect the change made this afternoon

 

you: so im here

 

Jorge: Well that's good to hear now what questions did you have on the balance?

 

you: The $270 deposit was waived by an account specialist on the phone

 

you: and i told her i had to run to the bank and go to school

 

you: and if i called would their new CSR i'd speak with see the notes and appropriate ammount

 

you: she assured me

 

you: but my phones dying

 

you: and the internet runs on a computer thats plugged into the wall

 

you: so i figured i'd speak with you today

 

you: and see if i can do this online instead of wasting time waiting for phone to charge

 

you: basically.

 

Jorge: Ok well let me see what I can find out on the account as far as the balance. Please allow me 3-4 minutes

 

you: the balance should be about $20.96

 

you: no problem, im here bud thx

 

you: plus my new balance for april she said was in the mail already

 

you: i just wanna take care of the $20.96 now

 

you: and wait till i get paid for the other.

 

Jorge: Thank you for your patience at this time the balance is 130.37 with a past due of 34.03 and a current bill of 96.34. It may take at least a billing cycle to see the change but that is the balance at this time

 

you: I see. past due 34.03... when was it due?

 

you: i see april 15th on my paper bill as the FIRST due date on here

 

you: for anything

 

Jorge: It was due on 04/01/2011

 

you: so in order to avoid interruption of service we need the $34 taken care of?

 

you: $34.03

 

Jorge: Just the 34.03 for the deposit was waived at this time.

 

you: ok ok

 

you: just remember speaking to her, she said my previous balance was $284.03

 

you: $270 of that was waived, which leaves $14.03 plus $6.89 for my first bill

 

you: let me get my bill one sec, yes that's correct

 

you: $14.03 + $6.89

 

you: still, thats about $21, not $34.03

 

you: i fail to see the extra $13 in all of this

 

Jorge: It's ok I just want to make sure how much was removed of the deposit amount.

 

you: $270 was the full deposit ammount asked

 

Jorge: Let me just take a look for you. Please allow another 3-4 minutes.

 

you: ok thanks

 

Jorge: Thank you for your patience do apologize for the delay

 

you: no problem

 

Jorge: I am still looking into it for the first bill which was in 03/15/2011 was for an amount of 23.78 then the next bill came out which was for 10.25

 

Jorge: When added together the balance is 34.03 which is past due

 

you: that is all in-congruent with statements previously heard via telephone from account specialists early this afternoon

 

you: but i believe YOU see that in front of YOU...

 

you: because YOU have no reason to lie to me.....

 

you: and YOU only go by whats on the screen, am I right?

 

Jorge: of course and the amounts are what I am seeing on the invoices on the account

 

you: the back of my bill breaks down to $6.89

 

you: after all applicable taxes and base charges and whatever else fees

 

you: i used 28kwh

 

you: not 2800

 

you: not 280

 

you: twenty eight

 

you: 28kwh x .09cents per kwh

 

you: total energy consumption came to be less money than the $2.77 base charge you guys seem to think is necessary

 

you: that, combined with two more fees and/or taxes, came to $6.89

 

Jorge: Yes sir but again there were two bills prior to that bill that you are looking at.

 

you: this plus the $14.03 from the bill that said $284.03 -$270 of course

 

you: is it late fees being tacked on somewhere?

 

you: i still don't follow.

 

Jorge: There are billing date 03/15/2011 and 03/16/2011

 

you: ok

 

Jorge: There is one bill that was for an address of [address omitted]

 

Jorge: That was for the amount of 23.78

 

you: ok well i guess i have no other option. unless there's a comprehensive breakdown of all charges inccured, viewable somewhere by either me or a third party verifier

 

you: im at the will of what you say my bill is, even though it's incongruent with my records, or records of reliant csr's and account specialists

 

you: spoken with earlier today

 

Jorge: I can send the bills by email so you can see them?

you: i would love that in fact

 

you:

you: i will handle all this tomorrow

 

you: thank you and good day.

 

you: still here until you need to say "thank you for being a reliant customer"

 

you: :)

 

Jorge: We thank you for being a reliant customer, we appreciate your business have a good evening as well.

you: peace
