Dear Editor,
Just a few hundred dollars more, some will say. Can someone please explain to me why Jamaica Public Service is being allowed to add $291.25 to my bill, if I do not pay by the due date?
I can see that they are also generously offering to reduce my bill by $250.00, if I pay by the due date; however, I would prefer if they just left things as they are.
I have lived in this country for over 40 years, and the utility companies have always had their way with us. The consumer representative bodies seem to be powerless. Is this "late fee" allowed by law? Office of Utilities Regulation "mi a bawl out". Help!
