Electricity
A while ago I wrote about the fact that we decided to have green energy in this new apartment.
So we choose CityPower instead of the traditional Electrabel (we have a free energy market in Belgium these days, not that it changes the prices so much...)
Anyhow, CityPower didn't do so well, it seems, as they become Nuon or rather Luminus, who is changing the name to ESPE or something like that (free markets you know...)
We were stunned to see our goodbye bill: 3 months for the price of 600 euro!
600 euro... You have to know, we didn't put our heating until December this year (global warming you know.) And it is not like we are cooking a lot in this apartment. So the only thing that consumes electricity is our washing machine, and the shower. And, OK, our portables.
But 600 euro for that?
So I called them, asking to check everything.
Apparently they made a mistake in noting down our counter ID: we are paying someone else's bill... Can you imagine?

Beginning this week I was actually considering to switch over to CityPower... but now you're confusing me :)
Last year Electrabel made a 'mistake' and they charged my night fee as day fee (I have two counters). Because of that I payed 800 euro to much that year. After a long discussion (I refused to pay) and around twenty phone calls they finally dropped the bill.
Earlier that year they cut off my power for one week because I wasn't paying the bills, while I never got any bills!!! I'm sure they were trying to charge me for that by making the night/day fee mistake.
