Business ProfileforCullman Electric Cooperative

So I recently was in the hospital about a week for heart failure during that time the water was disconnected at home when I got home I paid the bill and waited for two days to pass not to have water until I finally called them. The woman explained that I had a small reconnect fee to finish paying and after that was paid before 2 pm wait and hour then turn the water on at the meter myself. That is exactly what I did. No issues I paid 222$ and waited then went to turn the water on no lock no issues no problem. Well the next afternoon I noticed my usage report was not being emailed no longer so I called them to ask why? There was serveral changes made to the online account I had to make due to the update on the website but as far as my usage I received a report each week with a successful reading each time. Due to the detailing business my husband and I own here we keep close watch on the usages. She said the readings were normal and Id get my reports as I normally would the following week. Today someone called me and said that my water was being shut off there was a lock back on it because someone had cut the previous lock off and I would have to pay a $500 tampering fee for turning my water on EVEN THOUGH SHE SAID I HAD TO TURN OT ON MYSELF She claimed I had cut the lock when there was not a lock in the **** hole! Nothing! So after $675 plus $456 paid for the reconnect and the next month bill my water is shut off and cannot be cut on unless I pay a fine of $500 more dollars all in one month just before Christmas?! Any lawyers reading this want to get paid? Contact me or my husband ****** or ************************* just look us up its ******************** IN ********** ** I am shocked and I dont even know how this could even be happening I believe that whoever worked the day he was supposed to put a lock on it never had and they just need to cover up the mistake I just did what the lady told us to do
