Oh Crap!!!

Thanks girls, I hope so!! We do have an agreement with Origin about getting cheques for credit for our electricity for our current property but I may have paid our old account, which is the rental property (as I have them as nicknames) for each property, so hopefully as the account doesn't technically exist anymore I wonder....

Totally understandable though - you've got so much on your mind at the moment
ps. Love the name Firefly

Paid it the day I lost Firefly too, so not surprised I did something so silly!
Thanks, it came to me this afternoon, finally something that just seemed perfect and fitting

If they really give you a hard time don't hesitate to go to the Energy & Water Ombudsman, we had a massive blue with Origin early in the year and suddenly after going to EWON and sorting it out we were given our own "relationship manager"!

I often do that with Telstra. We have 3 accounts, home and 2 mobiles. I can sometimes pay 1mobile twice.

A $300 water bill is huge are you sure you don't have a leak?? We got a $400 water bill last 1/4 and turned out we had a leak, the water company refunded the full amount once we got the leak repaired. Might be worth checking with the tenants even a running toilet can lose that much water.

Good luck!!

I spoke with Origin, they are sending me out a cheque, should arrive within the week!!!

Spoke with SA Water and have paid the bill using some mmoney I had put away, which I will replace with the cheque when it arrives

Thanks Pix, lucky they were all really good about it and also had a laugh with me

I have done that before Astrid, I now have them being direct debited form my account so I don't screw it up

Jaffaz, yes it is very high, considering our was the same (almost) and we filled our new pool I have left a message with my agent and I will be passing on the overusage costs to the rental people, as it is just way over the top IMHO, especially as we have had a mild summer...
