Texas woman gets electric bill for $1.3 million

Texas – A woman recently opened up her monthly electric bill to find that she was charged $1.3million.
Kristin Harriger, of Abilene, Texas, received a bill from Dallas-based Potentia Energy earlier this month for a balance of $1,381,783.92.
The electric company blamed a third-party business that handled the billing for the mistake that also listed Ms Harriger responsible to pay an additional $66,000 if she paid the balance late.
Sehr Charania, Potentia external affairs officer, told Business Insider that the company acted promptly to resolve the problem.
She said: ‘When Ms. Harriger informed us of the erroneous bill, we responded within five minutes and assured her that we would rectify the situation, which is what we have done.’ More
