That cost alot!

What cost you more than you expected?

The electricity for this place; I thought the $140/month we paid when we first moved in in the 80s was bad; last few years it's been between $400 & $800/month; we finally broke down & got solar.

[LoveLife&Laughter]

Solar. Spent a fortune, then it cost more than expected because company was incompetent. Installed it 1 1/2 years ago and they are still trying to get it to work rather than take it away and give me my money back. We're talking over $30 grand.

Smaller things than you all had to endure. I sent for a sample of somnapure sleep aid for shipping and handling. On the shipping slip, in fine print, it said I had 18 days to cancel or they would put me on their VIP list and send me a months supply every month for $35.00 until I cancel. I fond this out after the first $35 was extracted from my account! I am so upset with them and myself. It sucks! 

Also, for the 3 years I have had Time Warner Cable, I had autopay enacted and there was never a problem. Then they said they wanted me to update my banking info. They did not take the bill out of my account and also assessed a late fee. When I went there to straighten it out, they took the fee off, I paid my bill, and asked autopay to be reestablished. I also updated my banking information. I thought all was well until they did not take the bill out on the date I had asked to reestablish. So....I went online and looked at my bill. I paid the bill and manually setup the autopay because it showed I was not on autopay. Sooooo, guess what?! They double charged my bank account. My bill that was $125 was $250! I called and yelled around at some girl who just tried to brush it off and suggested I just leave it as is because it would take 4 weeks to issue a check to me. I said, "you mean to tell me you have my banking information and can extract money from it and you can't just issue a credit back to my account? "Yes ma'am....Me: You mean to tell me that a company that, if the shoe was on the other foot and I was late, that would come here and by gawd shut my cable off, can't write me a check that I can come by and even pick up myself, can't make this right today?!" Her: "let me get my supervisor"  Me: "You do that while I get Direct TV's number" This is ridiculous. I was told I would be put on priority to get a check mailed to me. I was told so much malarky. Now I had to put off paying another bill and will be assessed a late fee from them because they did this. I feel wronged by the system...lol....dang...

A trip to the grocery store is always an eye opener for me.

[flippr 2.0]
