Paying Bills

[AndyLin]

If anyone has resently paid either a electric or water bill in the little shop opposite Bombay Corner in the last couple of weeks please be aweare that there was a "computor problem". My dad paid his bills there 2 weeks ago and yesterday the elec guy came to cut them off as not paid, went down yesterday, still hadn't transfred money. Going today to see if bills paid, if not will be a trip to the police station with all receipts

This happened to a friend of mine a few weeks ago too - yet stupidly I paid my electric bill there last week!  Apart from going into the shop, or waiting till my electricity is cut off, is there any way I can check to see if the payment has gone through yet?

Do the same problems arise at other 'fatura' shops, ie, the one in Gunlukbasi?

Same happened to us before xmas. We got our electric cut off after paying them early. Spoke to manager at aydem and he informed us not to use any of the futura centres. On saying that we paid our bills in Gunlukbasi futura centre for years without any problems.

I have been told that the safest way to pay utility bills and to make sure you do not get cut off is to set up direct debit (automatic) payments through your Turkish bank account. I have set my payments up recently. The process involved a ten miniute visit to the bank with my water and electricity account details - simples!

I've always used the Fatura bank opposite the bus stop in Fethiye(The guy has his hair in a pony tail)and never had any problem in 2 years.

You can always check your account at Aydem at any time on line by going on line and entering your account number in the "quick debt" box ... http://www.aydem.com/changelang.asp?lang=4

I use the Fatura shop in Fethiye, have done for the last 3 years with no problems. Have never used the one in Calis and after what happened to my dad I never will.

Dad's just phoned, used the link above to check his account, money STILL not paid in. Trip to the police coming up.

There are a least 10 Fatura shops in Fethiye.....so which one you are recommending is important

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.

Never had a problem with the one opposite the big Mosque as you get off the Calis bus in Fethiye, or the one near Migros crossroad near to Alem cafe,not tried others, I usually pay direct to whoever but when feeling lazy go to either of these
