If they are not billing you, stop paying them! Go talk to a federal debt settlement attorney, this will make a grate class action, and you can get paid good money for being a class rap. I am not an expert in this area, but I am pretty sure there is a case here for damages if they try to collect money from you without presenting you with a bill first.
- nattaylor 13y agoUnfortunately, I don't think I'd have enough documentation (eg not even the initial email for enrolment in Ecobill, nor a screenshot of the dashboard.) I agree though, I feel like it's shady at best and probably worse, though they are providing me legitimate service (if you can call Comcast that) and I am consuming the service.
- chris_wot 13y agoSurely in discovery you'd uncover evidence that they know of the problem? Regardless to say, a lawyer's letter would probably get the issue resolve. Stupid that it gets to this point.

- MichaelApproved 13y agoHi Sneak. You've been on Hacker News for well over a 1,000 days and seem to be a value added member of the community. I'm sure you already know this but image responses are not accepted here like they are on reddit. Not that there's anything wrong with reddit, I spend a lot of time there too and love the site but the two communities are different. Please keep image responses on reddit and off Hacker News.
- officialjunk 13y agoi don't see anything in the guidelines about this: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- MichaelApproved 13y agoYou're right. I thought there was something in there about how comments should add to the conversation but I don't see it there now. I must have been mistaken.
- sneak 13y agoI accept them, and the prominent HNer sitting at the table with me laughed at it and upvoted it. If pg or our other overlords have any issue with pun-based humor, they have yet to codify them in the rules. There is, however, a rule against complaining about HN turning into Reddit. The official HN guidelines read as follows: "If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)" My per-comment average is nearly twice yours. Please pick on someone else. I'm sorry you don't like my comment. I thought it was grate.
- MichaelApproved 13y agoThanks for the followup. That's a good point about it not being in the guidelines while referring to reddit actually is. I was referring to something I thought was in the rules about comments adding to the conversation but I don't see it there now. I still don't think links fit the style of this site but in the future I'll probably just downvote and let the numbers speak for themselves.
- x0054 13y agoHi Jeff. I thought I should weigh in on this one, as you originally corrected my spelling. I am not offended, on a whole, but having notice your little back and forth with Michael, I decided to look through your comments. You have a tendency to correct other people's grammar and spelling. In most cases this does very little to contribute to the overall nature of discussion. Further, I am sure this is not something you would say to people in a face to face conversation. Please keep in mind that there are a lot of people on HN who are NOT native English speakers, me being one of them. I am well aware of the fact that on occasion I have a tendency to misspell great as grate, and vice versa. The other 2 languages I speak fluently have much more reasonable spelling rules, but I am not complaining. However, I am guessing that your superior spelling and grammar skills in your native language are a great source of pride for you, as you like to show them off so much. I would not want to take that away from you. So, you have a nice day.
