I lost track of some of my mail last month, and last Friday I received two final notices/payslips from Tepco themselves (東京電力エナジーパートナー), along with another slip from 東京電力パワーグリッド. The first two were simply final notices to pay my unpaid June gas and electric bills, with a deadline of 8/8 for when the power would be shut off. The papers also warned that if they could not confirm payment by 3pm on 8/7, my contract may be canceled which would ensue in the actual shutting off of my power. I paid both of the attached pay slips immediately that day (8/2) via combini.
The other piece of mail (from 東京電力パワーグリッド) mostly stated that they had received notice from my retail electricity provider (Tepco) that I intended on cancelling my contract (presumably because I was late with payment), and to continue my usage I should continue my contract with said provider. The same electric shutoff date that was written on Tepco mail was also written on this one.
I'm mostly just paranoid, but should I be concerned about my power being shut off tomorrow even though I paid both of the due charges well before the final deadline? I assume this isn't the first time this has happened to someone, but just wanted to confirm that there is nothing else I need to do (like confirming that I do not want to cancel my contract, etc) seeing as all of my bills have been settled up now well before the final deadline. The wording on the slips made it seem like the contract would be fine assuming I paid at least a day before the deadline (which I did), however I was kind of spooked by the other mail from 東京電力パワーグリッド.
Also, I did attempt to call Tepco to confirm my payment and that my contract was not cancelled, but was directed to use their online AI chat bot to access said information, which was extremely unhelpful and couldn't provide me with any clear answer as to the status of my payments/contract.
Would appreciate any sort of answer/response to ease my mind. Thanks!
