Families remain without eco-reduction as ARMS dodges questions
ARMS Ltd adamantly refuses to answer whether it will refund families which are not receiving deductions on electricity bills due to eco-reductions they are owed.
Illum reports how putting questions to ARMS Ltd in several instances, Enemalta’s billing ‘arm’ chose to ignore the queries.
Illum’s questions were prompted by how a number of families complained that despite how ARMS Ltd’s online portal details that the compensation is based on how many units are consumed each year, in truth the eco-reduction is based on six-month estimates.
According to the report, ARMS determines a given household’s consumption in the first six months, and determines whether it qualifies for the eco-reduction refund for the entire year based on those six months alone.
In effect, the report says, ARMS Ltd is assuming the household’s consumption for the remaining six months of that year will remain constant, even if it may not be the case.
