I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds frustrating to deal with unexpected charges, especially when you've been diligent about paying on time. Here are a few steps you might consider:
1. **Contact DTE Energy**: Reach out to their customer service as soon as possible. Explain the situation and provide any evidence you have of the payment, such as transaction receipts or bank statements.
2. **Check Payment Details**: Verify that the payment was sent to the correct account and that all details were accurate. Sometimes errors in account numbers or other details can cause payments to be misdirected.
3. **Request a Payment Trace**: Ask DTE Energy to trace the payment. They may be able to locate it and apply it to your account.
4. **Document Everything**: Keep a record of all communications with DTE Energy and any other parties involved. This documentation can be helpful if you need to escalate the issue.
5. **Consider a Payment Plan**: If the payment issue isn't resolved quickly, inquire about setting up a payment plan to manage the unexpected charge.
6. **File a Complaint**: If you're unable to resolve the issue directly with DTE Energy, consider filing a complaint with the Michigan Public Service Commission or the Better Business Bureau.
I hope this helps, and that the issue gets resolved quickly for you.
