The power company had not made a real reading of their meter for three yearsA client looks at her electricity bill - EFE
Francisco de la Fuente and his wife Lidia, a pensioner couple from Calpe have received an electricity bill for 6,400 € and have had to ask for a bank loan to pay it.
The bill corresponds to a real meter reading and comes given the circumstance that the power company had not made a real reading on the property since 2007, consistently estimating below the real consumption.
El Mundo reports that the couple have been paying the bills sent to them over the past three years.
Lidia said, ‘My husband, who is ordered ad nauseam, has saved all the facturas. Some have been for 20 € others nearly 100 €, until they called us from the bank last October to tells us that they wanted 6,400 €’.
The couple has been in touch with the Consumers’ Office and has also established contact with Iberdrola for an explanation, but have heard nothing.
‘They tell they are very sorry, but we can’t do anything except pay up’.
