Bent out of shape and getting all upset about $0.10 per day is really not worth the aggravation.
NO, Actually it is a principle of the think issue, That heat tape protects the park, not the RVer, it is property of the park, Installed by the park, and it is thus the responsibility of the park. It may only be a few cents.. But one of the first major Hacker busts was because of, as I recall, a 17 cent discrepancy in a bill. Investigation resulted in hundreds of man hours effort, at least two suicides (The criminals) and I believe one arrest. They were spies who had gotten into a military communications net.. And a 17 cent discrepancy in a bill is what nailed them.
So I would say the O/P has a case.. BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE...
I do not know the law in Mi as it applies to this thread (I know quite a bit of MI law but not this part, I'm from MI after all).
But many states have a rule "You can not profit from electrical charges in a campground" (Well paraphrased) that is if the Electric company charges you 5.00 for the power to that site, you can only charge the camper 5.00 you can not charge him 20.00.. and it appears this CG is doign that as well.
Someone ask about Defrauding an inkeeper.
NO. The bill status is not unpaid, it is "DISPUTED" Now if it goes to a settlement Either court ordered or negotiated outside of court, and STILL remains unpaid.. There might be such a charge.. But frankly. I doubt it. Not many know what or why that charge exists.
