I'm so mad...my kid just called me and said that they came home and there was no electric. Sure enough, I call SMECO and they said they cut off my electric cuz they didn't get my check.


I told them I sent the check in the mail last week. Why did they cut my power off?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Call your bank and find out if your check cleared.

How many months were you behind?
Why not do auto debit every month?
Why not pay bill on time?
How are you online with no power?

Sounds odd they would turn it off just a week late. :confused:

When I was a teen, our electricity was always getting cut off because my mom would rather smoke pot than pay the bills.

How's the :cool: ?

When was the last time you paid them?

I can't remember. I think I paid them after I got my kids Christmas stuff, but I really don't think they should cut my power off. I did tell them I put the check in the mail. :ohwell:

Weren't you just dragging someone else across the coals about not paying their bills??

You didn't sign over a check NitWit gave you did you?

Well, I'm at work. Luckily my kids cell phones were charged up. One of them was updating their myspace using the laptop, and the other one was playing with his psp. Thank goodness for technology.

Oh well, I guess I'm just gonna have to go out to dinner tonight. Lord knows how long it will take them to turn it back on.

You need to balance your check book and see whether you are caught up with or not. I put my check to smeco in the mail on Tuesday of this week and I just checked my account and it cleared already.

Well, I have to go by there tonight and pay it. I guess I need to reschedule my tanning appointment. There goes my evening...

Good thing it's not that cold, you'd be making extra appointment to tan the kids just to thaw them out.

Have not paid since Christmas?
No wonder they cut you off!
Go pay them and they will turn electric back on in 24 hours.
Be responsible and pay your bills on time and this wont happen.
SMECO gives people many chances and ways to pay overdue bills.

Christmas was three months ago.

Yeah, but my kids needed new coats this year, and they couldn't decide which color, so I just bought them one of each. And then I had to get the TrackPass thing from DirectV, so I could follow Junyer on the scanner. And I got that big tv at Christmastime and I had to upgrade to DirectV HD.

Just so much going on, I forgot to pay it. :bawl:

I, kwillia, am proud to see you haven't gone 'premo' yet. At least you have one of your priorities straight...:huggy:
