Dear Claudienne

On November 24, 2018, the sum of $48,345.81 was erroneously credited by me to my account at the National Water Commission (NWC).

When I realised that I had made the error, I visited the NWC office at Marescaux Road in Kingston on December 12, 2018 and made a written request to be refunded my money. Since then I have been given the runaround by the NWC.

I have written to the OUR, and the Ministry with responsibility for Water in the Office of the Prime Minister but got no response. I have also e-mailed and visited the Consumer Affairs Commission (CAC) but the matter remains unresolved.

Attached is a copy of the statement from the bank duly signed by an officer showing that the funds were withdrawn from my account and paid to NWC account.

The water bill I got in December, 2018 l from the NWC reflected the overpayment but to date the NWC has not effected the refund.

The last correspondence I received from the NWC requested proof of payment but I have provided them with proof umpteenth times

I would appreciate your asistance.
