Johan is a dedicated dental hygienist from Calgary who recently faced a perplexing and stressful situation with his utility company. He had been trying to resolve an issue regarding an outstanding invoice of $81.50 which he was certain he had already paid.
Despite his diligent efforts in providing the necessary documents, including bank statements, and repeatedly contacting his utility company, the issue remained unresolved. The situation escalated when the utility company added late payment penalties to his balance and closed his account, leading to a collection agency getting involved.
Feeling at a loss, he turned to Alberta Energy Providers for assistance. He shared his ordeal with a member of the mediation team, who carefully reviewed all the information Johan had collected.
Taking action, the mediator reached out to the utility company on Johan’s behalf to inquire about the unaccounted payment.
Through the mediator’s intervention, the utility company conducted a thorough check and successfully located his missing payment. They promptly applied it to his account, rectifying the error.
After enduring months of frustration and anxiety, Johan was immensely relieved and thankful for the crucial support and resolution provided by the AEP. This experience highlighted the importance and effectiveness of such advocacy services in resolving consumer disputes with utility providers.
