I ended up getting an $1,800 bill. That's BS that they weren't billing me, but I have no sympathy for some of the people I've heard around town whining about not being able to pay their bill when received. You know damn-well you are receiving these services, and you also know about what it's going to be (give or take $50 bucks). People should be putting that money aside to pay the bill when received. This isn't some winfall, you do actually owe that company that money. If people are so dumb that they go out and spend their utility money just because they didn't receive the bill, that's not Enmax/Direct Energy's problem.

Something tells me your friend isn't telling you the whole story. They likely weren't getting a bill, or getting a bill that was not including all her services (which has been the problem Enmax/Direct Energy have been experiencing). If $1,900 bucks is going to put your friend on the street, how the heck do they own a condo to begin with? What if they ever got a cash call?

I think you've confused two different posts, and two different scenarios, and created one super scenario and then gone on a rant about it.
