On a down note...

Prior to purchasing our condo, I checked and re-checked what utilities were included in our HOA fee. I was told (and re-told) that our electricity was included. About 2 months ago I got a note on my door saying that my electricity was going to be cut off because there was "no applicant on file." I was confused as to what that meant and just assumed it was a mistake. About a month ago I got another note on my door. This time I decided to verify (again) with my HOA that my electricity was covered. The lady I spoke with was not 100% sure but she thought that it was included. She said she would check with the HOA president and call me back if she was mistaken.
I never received a call back so I assumed that I was ok. I assumed wrong apparently.
Thank heaven that I was home today waiting for the swamp cooler. Rocky mountain power came to shut off my electricity. I answered and the tech told me if I called right now he wouldn't shut it off. So I did.
And they back-billed me to march 1. I now owe 300 dollars.
Lame.
