Questions Asked

I've recently had my meter connected to Enel, but its site my.enel.com does not seem to like my codice fiscale which it wants in order to see my services. Was wondering if anyone has used it?

Hi, I didn't reply to this at the time because my apartment was still brand new and not everything had been checked out. Are you still looking? I have an apartment in Trapani that would be empty December-February at least. Les

Here was my Porcini found in SE England last summer :) [Experimenting in adding photos here ]

My mother was from that 'semi-autonomous' region, whereabouts have you found your ideal home? I used to know that area like the back of my hand having spent many child-hood summers there. Good Luck. P.S. Silly me, should have looked at your gegraphical coordinates... Derby - picked that place because it sounded English? :) Very nice too, brings back memories...

At this point you have to click on one of the two options - probably the one you want is Mercato Maggior Tutela' then it assks for your customer number - then your in! Les

can you believe it took 8 full working days for the bonifico estero to show up on my Enel account? From one bank in Trapani to another bank in Palermo. What were they doing with it all that time? :-)

Welcome.  Does your picture reflect your interest in fungi foraging I presume? Plently of scope for that in Italy :) Les

I found out from emailing the Enel webmaster that there are in fact two separate sectors in ENEL, free market and the old one - I was going down the wrong leg! So, finally last week I managed to virtually view my bill for the first time and found out I had one day to pay it before it was 'late' Then I found out from my bank Unicredit that with my account being for non-residents (estero) the option to do the easy 'pay my ENEL' was not possible, I would have to pay by using the 'bonfico estero option'. I am now waiting the 5 working days to see if it turns up against my ENEL account...even though it was in effect going from one Italian bank to another in the same currency.

I did open up a 'conto estero' with Unicredit while I was there specifically for this type of thing but as I see the charges adding up I am quickly wondering if I should have bothered! I still have not seen my ENEL bill online yet but I think that may be becuase they havn't issued my first one yet - I only got connected 2 weeks ago...

I've just discovered the problem. When I went for the online form filling 'contact us' page - it wants your codice fiscale there too, but the form said it was invalid almost immediately - as I'm a bit of a techie I deduced this could only be checked via script on the web page - sure enough looking at the web page source - as the codice fiscale is derived from one's name - there is some local checking taking place. My problem was that my CF had both my first name AND my middle name whch I rarely used. I had failed to use my middle name too when registering on enel....grrr :)

Yes, there are 10 flats in total. Its administered by a company that seem to do that for a living in Trapani. That was one of my jobs that got done last week - visiting them. They even have a web site so you can log in and see what's owed... It's a very old building (mid 1800's) - the majority of expeses seem to be obvious ones (water, electricity for stairs etc) rather then a bucket of funds to be used on projects. The current figure is 37/month for my flat - where mine has been allocated about 8.9% of the total due to its size with repsect to the others. Not sure how this compares to a modern condo with lifts etc.
