My power company has got to be out of thier mind
Last month just before Christmas we installed an RV outlet to our storage building/shop for my BIL and his family to hook their RV up to it.
We have separate bills for the house and shop because each has it's own meter. We get a bill each month in our email and a paper bill. I just checked my email and you will NOT believe what the bill for the shop states! First off the bill for 3 years has not been over $20 a month, this is what the new bill reads....
Previous Balance $19.06
Payments received since last bill $19.06
Present Reading 96
Previous Reading 9500
Energy Charge $6,176.23
Power Cost Adjustment $2,397.17
Other Tax $188.61
Total Current Bill $9104,95
The power bill for my house was $112.00
Something is seriously wrong here

What the heck? I bet you are so anxious for Monday to come so you can give them a call.
We had us, we had him, now we have everything.

If the previous reading was 9500 and the present reading is only 96 that is negative 9404. How did you use less than zero? Maybe the $9404 is what they owe you.

I worked for 4 years at the utility company here in Cedar Rapids in the billing department. With the readings they are showing it looks to me that they may have done a meter exchange or the meter reader entered the reading incorrectly. You should be able to get it straightened out with a phone call. Just ask them to do a re-read and if that doesn't straighten it out ask if the meter was exchanged.

It's very possible something is screwed up with the meter. I'd tell them to get their butts over there and check it. Good luck, hon
One Big Ass Mistake, America!
