A horrible surprise for Christmas received a 58-year-old Mary Choromanski from Pennsylvania.
Checking monthly payments for electricity on the Internet, she saw that he owed 284 billion (that’s billion!) dollars.
«My eyes just popped out of their sockets,» says a shocked landlady edition of the Erie Times-News. «We just hung up Christmas lights, preparing for the holiday and saw this.»
In his account of Mary Choromanski found that must pay this amount to the electricity supplier companies Penelec – until November 2018.
After such a nightmare to the company called the woman’s son, they took his statement, after which Penelec found that the error occurred. The invoice amount was 284,46 of the dollar, obviously, the officer made a mistake, driving the numbers with a comma.
«Over the course of his work, of course, I do not remember the case that the account has reached a billion dollars», — said the press-Secretary of the Penelec mark Durbin. «We ask all customers to contact us if they find some mistake.»
The very same Mary Choromanski admits after this incident, she asked her son to give her for Christmas a heart monitor.
