probably buckleys to none, but here is my gripe anyway.

 

I have been renting an apartment (total 8 apartments, 3 level high rise) for 18 months...for the first 15 months my power bills were coming in at around $385.00 a quarter......just me, I work full time and then some, so they were pretty exxy I thought, but hey, what can you do??

 

Three months ago, Body Corporate organised OHS safety checks etc, and the electricians found the water temps were set way too high and came around and adjusted them a week later.......

 

last power bill (yesterday) $216.00.......

 

so for 5 billing cycles I have paid an extra $800 through no fault of my own.....

 

What do you reckon my chances are of getting this re-imbursed??

 

I know there is no chance, it just really urks me, I am doing okay, but there is a young couple with a couple of kids who live beneath me and they are struggling, this sort of corporate foul up really p****s me off

 

Rant over, as you were..

It's not your fault....however, you have used and received the benefits of the hot water.

 

Be glad that your temp has now been set lower, thus saving on future bills.

If I can't get them to reimburse the money, maybe I can sue them for 3rd degree burns  LOL
