Much clearer...

May 3, 2007:
  • Maria faxed detailed breakdown of GST charges on account and we went through it together.
  • GST is calculated on a per line item and prior to any adjustments such as gas rebates
  • The $6.36 charge was after all rebates were calculated from the December 22/06 – January 18/07 bill; however, GST is calculated based on the charges prior to adjustments of gas rebates so the GST shows as $34.04
  • Maria did notice that we were charged twice on our latest bill (Bill date of April 27/07) in GST ($1.35) and other charges ($22.46). We should be receiving the bill sometime this week or next week
  • Will have those credited back to our account so we should see a credit of $23.81 on our next bill. As of the bill date of April 27/07, the balance is $851.03 which includes the credit of penalty charges of the last bill ($6.93) and another $50 credit. The credit of $23.81 will show up in the next bill.
  • Since we have made a payment of $300 on May 1, 2007, our bill should be $527.22 (which takes the $23.81) into consideration
  • Maria has also put a note on the account that the balance of $827.22 (without our $300 payment) on a 6 month repayment plan which works out to be $137.87/month. We will still be required to pay the current month’s charges in addition to the $137.87. If we want to continue to make $300 payments on top of our current bill, we would pay off the balance faster but if need be, the minimum payment to “catch up” is $138 + current month’s bill charges
  • Maria will follow-up in about a week to see if we have any other questions after we review the spreadsheet of the breakdown
