Electricity Meter deposit returns from Electric Company?

[jackcorbett 2]

Over a year ago, all condo owners in my building had to pay a meter deposit of just over 7000 baht to the electric company through our condo office. One of my fellow co-owners told me we were all entitled to a partial refund of 5000 baht due to the fact that we had service through our present meters for a certain time period---say six months to one year. In fact he told me that every condo owner at the Nova Mirage condo development just down the street had gotten 5000 baht of his deposit back. My fellow condo owner friend and I got the necessary paper work from our office that showed our meter numbers, amount of deposit and so on and we went to the electric company together. There we were informed that there would be no meter deposit refund coming unless we terminated our service, which makes sense, but still, there is the story that the Nova Mirage condo owners got back 5000 baht of their 7000 baht meter deposits.
