I always use MEA website to pay for my electric bill because I can actually pay it with my foreign credit card.

 

However, after 1 week of receiving my bill, the balance on the website still shows as zero? Before, the balance owing would show on the same day.

 

Anyone else?

 

 

Something is weird with MEA and MWA bills currently. The water meter guy read our meters as usual on the 1st of the month but didn't leave any bills as he usually does. My MEA bill usually comes on 15th...so we'll see what's up. I think there are some rebates and discounts that are due to current economic mitigation and that may be holding things up.

Yeah, it's almost certainly to do with the covid-19 discounts and rebates.

I have lost track of the many posts/threads about MEA/PEA bill payment not possible, no due amount shown in the apps or the like.

One statement was that they would be up again on May 10 (tomorrow)?

Quite likely. Must be a nightmare for the IT folks to follow those short term ideas/changes in billing.

The app also currently shows as zero for me. If this is accurate it might update on the 12th?

 

I was in the chit lom office of new on Thursday, hopefully resolving their incompetence on the security deposit refund.  The list of banks changed for the third time..she says it will work this time.  And she had every opportunity to explain the billing mess to me, and did not.  It ain't immigration by a longshot, but the question remains, why couldn't they just credit my account with them, like they did with the 11 THB in interest, they paid me?

Because of course the government is involved

The PEA bills are normally never released before the 16th every month. Before that there's no balance. They will adjust bills paid in April and refund money to people who did pay the bill when it was released.

Because the current name on account may not be the name of person actually using.  Been there.  Opened in wife's median name, bank accounts in married name.  No way to fix in current online social distance world.

 

As said the MEA usage bills are being held until 12th or after (if they get calculators working).  

Update on app..note saying new bills will show on the 12th..

 

 

Question for aspiring accountants:. When they say they are basing it on February..do they mean the bill that came in February or the bill, which had the most days of February usage?  Or do they even know?

The following message appeared in the app today 5/12.

Can anyone translate?

That means the reference month will be the one from, when the meter was read between 14 Feb and 13 March.  317 units, instead of 419 actual in my case.  

Update

 

The amount showed om MEA web site.

 

Paper invoice amount was 1,691.01 while logging in to MEA the amout seems to be reduced to 1,115.41

 

Nice, but unless my math is wrong it seems to be a bit more than 30%

It is your Feb bill minus three percent.
