I was actually suggesting you contact the company the bill came from (utility company, credit card company, etc).
And godd point steve. Still think they could have done better. Most things on a bill are repeated, so I think they could have that much right. Maybe the companies have software and an embosser and do it themselves.
And a mea culpa to the moderator. I do think the issue of responsible use of translation software may be on topic, but maybe that's just the activist in me!

Hi, Mike and List,
If I knew who brailled the bills, I'd like to communicate with them directly
about their mistakes.
The bills were brailled by two different people or agencies. One was
brailled on 8.5 by 11 paper embossed single-sided. It was in textbook
format. They missed surrounding some of the the computereze with the codes.
There was 20 pages of loose paper.
The second bill was worse. It was brailled on 11 by 11.5 paper with braille
page numbers at the bottom and no print page numbers were included. Some of
the braille was contracted, some wasn't, and computer braille codes were
omitted from web sites and email addresses. It was embossed on both sides
of the paper and the seven sheets were stapled together too close to the
braille making some of the dots on one page unreadable.
There were probably more errors, but I'd better quit before I get into
trouble with the moderator.
