Latest info for Electricity bill refunds

[Willow17]

That's a fair comment, but I'm not saying you have to claim, just thought I'd give the info out, so IF there was anyone willing or wanting to claim, the info was there. At 180 euros, I was willing to try, better than a poke in the eye with a red hot stick. Plus if no one claims, who get's the money from the illegal tax charged???? either the government, or yet more fat cats! well I would rather it be in my bank account than theirs. It's individual choice I guess. But the warning was, claim beofre they find a loophole to crawl through.

You too have a fair comment, and that's what makes a forum. And I for one appreciate the sharing of information, especially if it involves getting money back from the robbers.

I quickly put my claim in after Admiral had mentioned it, mine was for €195 and thought I wouldn't get a reply for a long time which is usual for France as you know. But getting a reply so quick, and Admiral getting the same letter made me think they were ready and they have all the answers to make it drag on for years.

I wonder if it would be worth us deducting our refunds from our bills? Maybe not all in one go, but €15 a month sounds fair to me for a year. Would they take us to court, if we made a comment on each bill we receive the reason for the deduction?

I don't know about your latter suggestion, but going by the comments made by the Lawyers, Businesses are getting in first, and then what ever is left over in the pot will be for the rest of us, IF they don't stop it by then, so I would suggest IF anyone has any plans on claiming this refund, they do it before they go back to court to have decision reversed. I'll be doing mine tomorrow. If it costs me 5euors and I get 180+ back, then I won't complain.....IF it costs me 5 euros and I don't get a refund, well I've tried. Perhaps we should get everyone together and send them in bulk, numbering each one, and all fastened so NONE get lost!!! MORE IMPACT. I told all my French neighbours, some of which have since spoken to me about the standard reply letter we have all had. One said yesterday, "If you get anything back let me know and then I'll send my letter in" They have had the info, what they choose to do with it is up to them, but I won't be going back and forth with info, if they are not willing to move themselves, that's their look out. Rant over, off to work now.
