What We Need .... To Begin Saving You Money
1. An understanding between your company and Sands Utility Professionals
2. Permission to speak with your utility providers
3. Copies of actual
bills .... from as far back as the statute of limitations allow, would be most helpful
Our First Step....
is to acquire as much historical information on the accounts, as possible. This information can be retrieved from
your past bills and the contract which the accounts are served. Historical and contractual information is recorded and processed for
the objectives of the services you need.
Examination of past bills for errors
objective: to find money that belongs to you

agreement was followed and charges
were calculated correctly.
Recovery of refunds for billing errors
