I Was Caught For Bypassing My Meter, What Should Be My Next Action Pls? by Xwizard(op): 3:15pm On May 24, 2022
I will be straight and sharp, I don’t need any bad every response, I’ve done it already, and I want to handle it maturely. Just need advice from any one who had handled such issues peacefully that all.

Yesterday I was caught for bypassing, I wasn’t at home, so before I got back they’ve cut down my wire, my neighbor won’t let them take away the meter and wire. Immediately they called and told me, first thing I did was recharge online on the meter right away, hoping I would have a chance, but I got home now I saw they’ve opened the meter, and I’m sure our people they would have taken enough pictures of the tampered meter, some of them can even pix mix I’m for evidence.

Well they dropped a letter for me, on the letter my last recharge was written at the back stating about 8months ago, and a phone at the back.

I don’t know what to do first, any I’ve not make any move yet, but I’ve corrected the bypass meter. suggestions how best to handle it.

call them and negotiate, the meter is still in your custody, there's hope the issue will be resolved. Call and negotiate.

yes
Re: I Was Caught For Bypassing My Meter, What Should Be My Next Action Pls? by mymadam(m):
Yes, ordinarily you've committed a crime (PHCN Regulations). Instead of being arraigned in court, I suggest that you visit the PHCN office in your domain ASAP. Present yourself BUT don't admit any wrongdoing yet. Let them confront you with the details first. Since you already stated here that you actually goofed, maturely ask for the way forward.

Commence negotiations on how to officially reimburse PHCN... in instalments. Well, I personally never give or accept bribes, but if it's your cup of tea, start on that path. Hope this helps

I don’t know if it’s proper to hurriedly go to their office first or call that number first. I just don’t want to take any wrong step. I’m trying to find like 100k for hand now

Go and pay your fine jor. Call the number and find out how much your fine is. You would probably have to pay 8months estimated bill plus the fine.

If a contact was written via pen at the back on the paper. No fear.. Dial the no and hear what the person have to say first before you can negotiate. It would cost u around 70k if u bargain well
Re: I Was Caught For Bypassing My Meter, What Should Be My Next Action Pls? by obiekunie01: 4:34pm On May 24, 2022
call the number ask where do u see him?

dont say anything incriminating on phone.

when you meet them dont answer what they di not ask you - and be vry tactical cause they record every conversation you have with them.

Tell them maybe it was the last tenant that did it cause you never tampered with the metter.

Then ask them to pls be considerate.

Be very polite in all your conversation with them.

Tell them you want to get it sorted out. they should pls dont be angry.

Then wait to hear what they have to say.

If they say you will have to go to court with them, tell them it is not neccessary that you will want them to get it settle here and now.



Dont worry they always understand - it will cost you like 30k last last but if u negotiate well it will even be less.
