Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
I am NOT responsible for the bills because the theft of service or some major issue was involved for duration of the time I was billed for *** service at that locationI have requested an investigation but moved before I could follow up and bring the independent investigator of my ownI had the SMALLEST unit I ever lived in when I lived in that building , yet my bills were almost DOUBLE of what I was charged before and after moving from that placeI moved just half block away to AVALON at *** *** ***, and my bills were HALF of what I was charged at *** *** **, North Bethesda, MD 20852, DESPITE the fact that my new apartment was almost twice as large as the unit I rented at *** *** **, North Bethesda, MD (2BR/2BA with 1068sq.ft size, and OLDER appliances, lower quality thermoisolation at *** ***, versus much newer, more efficent 1BR with 1den, tiny 700+ sq ft apartment at *** ***)How is this possible? I have copies of ALL MY BILLSI am current with my *** accounts since I moved out of *** *** ***, I have no issues paying for what bills I owe (and I currently rent 2br, much larger apartment than at *** **.)I am not responsible to pay the bill if I did not use that much electricity, and I am NOT going to pay for itThis is a blatant theftI request full investigation into the matterHow come the family of four, two working adults and two school going children, use half as much energy ever since moving out of *** *** to a MUCH LARGER sized and MUCH OLDER apartment ?
It's obvious that we did not use that much electricity, for that rerason we will never assume liability and will never pay the amount requestedInstead we request a full investigation into the matterAll our Bills (before and after moving to *** **) are available for reviewI can prove by preponderance of evidence that the charges at *** *** were inflated and bogus, and not proportionate to use of electricity and size of unite we rentedI reject business response, I will NOT pay this bill, these are BOGUS charges, I have all my bills and can prove it
