Question they don't answer: is he going to get a refund, or nah?
Refund? No way, power company doesn't care you don't notice. Likely will be pushed along to court
It’s PG&E, so they said that he’s still on the hook for this months billing cycle. Starting next month though, he’ll be billed correctly, hopefully.
I meant refund for last 15 years. I have a feeling PG&E will find a loophole.
Honestly the probably don't even have to. In my experience, they tell you to fuck off because anyone who actually notices the price of the power bill isn't wealthy enough to sue.
I know what you meant and what they should do, I was just repeating what they actually did so far.
