A clear report distinguishes the meter reading from the number on the bill.
The idea
Give both numbers, offer evidence and ask for confirmation after the reading is corrected.
Examples
- Mi factura tiene una lectura incorrecta.My bill has an incorrect reading.
- El contador marca 240.The meter shows 240.
- En la factura aparece 420.The bill shows 420.
- ¿Puedo enviar una foto?Can I send a photo?
- Quisiera corregir la lectura.I would like to correct the reading.
- ¿Me envían una confirmación?Can you send me confirmation?

No Spanish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
Contador and medidor can both refer to a meter; do not swap the meter and bill numbers.
