Things are moving along. So far, so good. I just finished getting our utilities set up between the old apartment and the new one. Good news is that for the new place we do not need a deposit for electricity. There’s a $17 connection fee. Our old power company will send a refund check within 4 weeks to our new address. I’m going to ignore that money from our budget plans and act surprised when we get it next month.
The cable company was a bit more difficult. I had to go through a long line of hoops on the automated menu. After giving my account information and verification, I was supposed to be sent to a ’specialist’. the representative was nice , but she asked me to verify everything all over again. Then she launch into a script on easy payments with the cable company and asked me which option I would prefer. I told her I was disconnecting. Did they send me to the wrong department?
Anyway, she was able to get my information to send my $28 refund check (yes!). She then told me that $56 was due for next month’s service, to which I reminded her that was no next month. *sighs* I wish it was Friday. I written everything down, to make sure if something goes wrong, I can track whom I spoke to.
If this post was helpful, please buy me a cup of coffee. :D
