I had a new thermostat installed in my house about a year and a half ago and still have never received a bill. I'm thinking one of two things happened or is happening.
1) They had a clerical issue and, as far as they know, I don't exist.
2) They are waiting for a few years to go by so that they can come down on me hard with thousands in late fees.
Although I would like to think number one is the more likely candidate, I just can't help thinking about the possibility of number two because the consequences would be quite severe.
I'm here to get advice. I want to just let it go and enjoy my free thermostat, but the possibility of them coming after me in the future is eating me alive. Would it even be feasible for them to come after me if I haven't received any bill in the first place. I just recently saw my credit report and there is nothing on there connected with them.
The installer told me that the company's secretary would be getting the credit started. I don't recall ever giving any information to get that going. I just signed a receipt when he was done.
