Cheated by EVN electric co.

5 years ago
Can some one please give me advice on what to do about the EVN Power company I'm in Smolyan area , here's the story.
Dear EVN,

I returned to Tyryan Sept.. 2017 to find my power disconnected. I had filled out all the forms at the bank and EVN . I was told my bill would be paid from my bank account automatically. It had not. I hired a lawyer and went with her to EVN and the bank. At the bank DSK we talked to a manager who spoke English( I can provide his contact info.).We showed him all the forms and he checked the account and told us everything was in order and that EVN had not submitted a bill to be paid..We went to EVN and the woman who processed my registration(for electronic withdrawal) was no longer working there and they told my lawyer to contact head office for complaints. They also told my lawyer that if I didn't pay my bill(700+ leva) within 3 weeks it would go to court. I needed my power on so I decided to pay and get this problem solved and my power on. I decided to make the complaint later as I was told I would have to go to Plovdiv with all the documents to see a supervisor to get a resolution.My lawyer and I where told that if I paid the bill at the post office my power would be restored and the court case stopped. I feel very unfairly treated by your company. I did everything possible to pay my bill, your company failed to send a bill to my bank. My lawyer and the bank manager will confirm this as well. I have all the original documents to prove it. Furthermore my lawyer pointed out that EVN had my e-mail address and they did not notified by e-mail or normal mail that there was a problem. My lawyer told me this is against Bulgarian law. Can you find any proof that I was notified of this problem. I am in Canada now but will be in Bulgaria next summer. Can you tell me what I need to do to get this resolved?
