Has anyone recently experienced an outrageously high Kaharamma bill in the Al Waab area? I am talking QR 5000/- compared with monthly usual of QR 600/-. I called Kaharamma and they indicated it coukd be an error!!
we complained for ages about high bills and they eventually found that the qatar meter was not working so they were just 'guessing' how much we owed them. Needless to say we never got a penny back.
Agree with LP - the cost of water and elec that the locals don't pay, simply get added to our bills in some way or another
weird, right? QEWC should really look into this matter and fix it ASAP 'cause it is really unacceptable to pay x3 of your previous bill when the fact that you have consumed almost the same e/w last month
If all of our bills were estimated, then it is really unfair even if it benefits you by having less. More to worry if you have more that you are actually using. Perhaps somebody can add to this based on their experiences...
we have the same issue. for the past few months our bills wouldn't go up to 300QR even, but now when we checked our bill we were suprised that we need to pay 804QR! there was no reading for the water consumption but they put around 200QR as 'extra charges'. when my husband inquired about this he was told that they have increased their rate due to their 'new system' and that they will just refund whatever amount they'll owe us next month.
Same issues here and we went to kahramaa to find out the problem., but seems alot of people are facing the same thing and logging complaints over there. Did they increase the electricity/water rate without noticed to public?
What I noticed on my bill was that a current meter reading had not been taken i.e., number of units consumed were the same as last months. Seems that they billed me based on some sort of an estimate.
we also have faced similar issue, we received a bill of abt 4000. We were out of the country for about 40 days for vacation to add to that. you should log in a complain at their office. We have logged one and we were told that they would send some to check the meter etc. let's see how it goes

do you check your meter reading every month?
LP spot on!
It's simple: the nationals don't pay electricity, so it's the expatriates who are milked like cows!

i have the same experience but it has some readings... but the most important is that we jumped from less than 400 to 700QR this month... Grrrrr!!!!

Yep, my dad checked it a couple of days ago and it turned out to be 5,000QR as well :) They probably messed something up
