Paying Bills

The Fatura that I use is the one at the dolums stop in Fethiye

Thank you for that Brian. We changed to ING bank last month and we have just looked at Aydem's website and found out our electric bills havent been paid. Even though we asked him to make sure that they were.

Just checked mine on-line - first time I have ever used the shop in Calis - paid bill on 6th January there - money still NOT got through to Aydem.  Will be paying a visit tomorrow I think to see what's going on.

Called in today...guess what...the shop was closed! Rang the two numbers on the window - the guy who works there surprisingly turned up within 5 minutes. He said he had transferred money to the bank, but the bank was at fault - they had not done the transfer to Aydem.  He apologised & said he would do it tomorrow - NO THANK YOU, as I today found a letter in the meter box threatening to cut me off if not paid by the 19th Jan.
Got my money back - FIRST & LAST TIME - will not be using there again to pay bills.
By the way...no mention of "computer problem" - bet he's raking it in - our money probably sat for weeks in his high interest bank account![!]
Thanks AndyLin - I would have been oblivious to this until my electricity was cut off on Wednesday - now prevented

I have to say that i have paid lots of bills at this place over the last 12 months and have only ever had 2 problems, 1 was with a water bill (which he no longer does now) and the 2nd was a couple of weeks ago with an electric bill. In both instances i took the receipts to him, and he resolved the problem within 24hrs. I have queued in the PTT before only to get to the counter, and to be told that there is a problem with the Aydem computer, unfortunately these things do happen from time to time.
