Re: Roomate and I getting screwed on heating bill , what to do
I used to work for a natural gas retailer. Basically, you're screwed. Unless you can prove there is an error in the reading there's nothing you can do. I once had a woman call me to complain about her $6000 residential gas bill, which was clearly in error because the reader shifted all the digits over one place, and my supervisor insisted that I tell her to pay it. Our policy was that if it was an error it would be corrected on the next reading and she'd get a refund. Apparently the reader didn't want to get in trouble for making a wrong reading, so he'd been continuing his error for several months. Pony up the $80 and move somewhere you don't need natural gas.
