If you wait until the next bill to correct, it will show you used 400KWH in Feb and will bill you for that. The issue is that if you use over 1000 KWH per month you pay an additional 18% for per KWH than the first 1000KWH. The Feb bill will not make that correction, according to Ms. Neal.
She is right. In your example it would amount to $4 you would not recover. How many phone calls, how much time, and how much stress is worth that $4? In my case I decided none of it was.
