Hi, some of you will remember over a year ago I posted on here about my two sons who own an apartment on Campoamor golf course.  It gradually came to light that they were paying  for someone else’s apartments electricity.  They realised when my husband and I stopped staying at the apartment due to I’ll health and with no one living there they were still getting huge electric bills.


Iberdrola we’re useless telling them that they had to get a private electrician to sort it at st their cost.  This has at last been carried and and they have been proved right, Iberdrola have finally sent someone to the electricity room and switched the two meters.  My son was so frustrated he stopped his direct debit 5 months ago and it seems to have worked.


Goodness knows how much h out of pocket they are but at the moment just glad to be paying  for their OWN electricity.

This happens a lot in Spain. I once went out to sort one mans electric and there were 2 other apartments conected to the meter / connectors in the meter room. His bills were massive.
