$985 Monthly Bill - last ACTUAL read 1year and 3 months ago

[Meg908]

Last ACTUAL read was 1 year and 3 months ago - new bill $985 for ONE MONTH (Electricity)

I have been hit with a MONTHLY bill of $985.05 (and that INCLUDED a $50credit) - single mum with 2 kids has only ever paid a Max of $150 a month in the past.

Was offered a 'payment plan' - I was Shattered - so distressed & worried my next bill would be similar & I have no way of paying.

Was told the meter would be checked, but highly unlikely to be the issue.

Was told it was probably a faulty appliance so I sent an Emergency call to the Real Estate.

Stayed up till 2am checking over the bills and discovered MY LAST ACTUAL READ WAS 28-01-2017 (this read was 28/04/18).

We have the easiest meter to read.  No Fence, No Gate, No pets.

I am relieved that it's not an appliance, but now have to find out what my rights are when AGL has estimated for 1 year and 3 months. 

Also very upset that, out of the 4 people I have spoken to, I was led to believe the last Actual reading was October last year.

No this is not resolved & unfortunately this message cannot exceed 20,000 characters.

I have just sent Jayden an email as he seems to be the only one who responds to email and it is too distressing to talk over the phone as I just get too upset.

Basically I am asking Jayden for help in putting a current PDF on My Account 

My Account is now showing I owe $439.62 by 31st May 2018 which I would have paid on Monday, however the PDFs on my account do now reflect this, I NEED A PDF STATING THAT THIS IS THE AMOUNT I OWE, as I am worried AGL will send me another bill in addition to this one.

* I would like to PAY THIS today as my Mum is lending me the extra money to get this over with as quickly as possible.however I am very concerned that I CANNOT ACCESS ANY PDF that reflects this amount and I am worried I will be charged more later for the same bill as I now know AGL can change the history at any time.

*If I click on    DOWNLOAD PDF BILL  which is suppose to relate to current bill $439.62 by 31st May 2018

THIS LINK OPENS THE 'NEWLY CREATED' ACCOUNT FROM A YEAR AGO 2017 .....

WHEN I CLICK ON THE LINK for 29 Mar to 28 April 2018   31 days  $199.12 [PDF] (found in my bill history)

 I get to see a bill showing I owe $839.66..... for 29 Mar 18 to 28 april 2018

PLEASE SEND ME A CURRENT PDF - or better still - have it so I can access it in my bill history - reflecting my current 

amount owing of $439.62 by 31st May 2018 so I can get this awful experience behind me - it is an absolute mess on AGLs part
