I went to my apartment at Beverly, Bundusan yesterday and there
was a yellow letter on my door from the management of the Apartment just
addressed to the unit number without the owner’s name. I took it and unlock the
door before reading the letter. I seldom received a yellow letter and it must
be something not right I thought.
I was shocked after reading the letter that I owed the
management a total sum of RM3, 168.81 of overdue payment by more than one (1)
month. If I failed to pay it within 14 days, water supply shall be
disconnected. I was really angry as my accounts and payment are all updated and
my last payment was done on the 27th August 2012. I locked my
apartment and drove to the management office which was a stone throw from my
apartment.
Me : Could you explain to me why I received this
warning letter and the outstanding due?
Staff : Can I have the letter and let me check
first.
Me : I have been paying my bill without fail and
my water bill for last month was less than RM5.00.
Staff : I suspect there was a glitch in the water
meter reading and we will rectify the problem.
The staff asked for my contact number for further action. I
called again the management regarding the matter and they will contact me later
after rectifying the matter within their side. I have to look for the previous
bills just in case they will pursue the matter and ask me to pay for the
outstanding payment. I had this problem before and requested them to change the
meter.
I wonder why it always happen to those people who really honest and abiding citizens and not to the people who goes against the law. Points to Ponder.
