Surprised Whoa, that's quite a difference! Hold on, let me check the system real quick. Alex taps away on their computer. Alex Parker: Hmmm...it seems like there was a system glitch. Our records show that you actually used 4KW, and you should only be charged for that amount. I apologize for the mistake. We'll get this sorted out for you, don't worry.
