The same thing happened with a Pennsylvania woman named Horomanski. She checked her electric bill online and became shocked to see the amount which was showing more than $284 billion.
The Erie Times-News reports that Mary Horomanski said her eyes "just about popped out" of her head when she saw the number. The 58-year-old suspected that her family had put up their Christmas lights wrong.
After communicating with his electric provider, Penelac, Horomanski’ son came to know that there was an error in putting decimal point at right place. Accidentally, they moved away decimal point which increased the amount of electric bill. His electric provider immediately rectified the error and the new amount of the bill was $284.46.
Horomanski told the Erie Times-News the $284 billion bill also caused her to ask her son for a different Christmas present this year. "I told him I want a heart monitor," she said.
So, please don’t get panicked if you get abnormal electric bill amount. Just contact your electric provider like Horomanski’s son did. They will definitely make the correction if they would find any error in the bill.
