As a result, a billing line item was inadvertently omitted from the “New Charges” and/or “Account Summary” section of your bill. The “Amount Due” and “Total Amount You Owe” on the first page are correct. We added a “Current Adjustment” to the first page, to represent the amount of the missing line item. This adjustment is not an additional or new line item, and is already included in the total amount you owe for this billing period.

No, this is not an additional or new line item charge. The “Current Adjustment” represents the amount of your current month’s charges inadvertently omitted from the “Details of New Charges” or “Account Summary” section. It is not an additional charge. It is included in the total amount you owe for this billing period, and does not involve a prior bill, tax, or penalty.

It is our responsibility to make sure your bills are accurate. To ensure accuracy, we conduct extensive testing and validation before presenting bills to our customers. In some cases, a “Current Adjustment” calculation is necessary, because current billing period charges do not appear correctly in the “Details of New Charges” section. You can determine the “Total Amount You Owe” or “Amount Due” by adding “Your New Charges” plus the “Current Adjustment” and “Past-Due Charges” (if applicable).
