Though a series of unfortunate events I find myself not knowing where to turn for help on this. Im not good at asking for help.
I am 66 widowed on a fixed income. About a year ago I had a water break in my yard which of course I had to fix. It took most of my check for the month. To stay on top of bills I applied for a loan. It was a reputable well known company and everything seemed good. Got the money and paid my bills. But then the company took the money back from my account. The were a fraud pretending to be the loan company. So now instead of help the bank took overdraft money and I ended up more in debt losing another 2 months pay because the bank was taking it. Most of the utility companies understood and worked with me and im finally catching up on some. All but one…power. They set a payment so high I could never make it and that didn’t even include the current month that had to be paid. How do you give what you don’t have? I will admit I haven’t paid the last couple months because they don’t want anything less than their set payment. So now just to keep power on they want $744.52 and that was for the day after I got the letter. They said they will send disconnect notice on 23rd so I should have it tomorrow.
They said if I pay the $744.52 before it’s shut off they will give me a new payment plan for the rest that’s what I’m trying to get to. If the power is turned off I will need to pay full bill at once which is $3,364.17 plus re-connection fee. If it gets to that point I’ll never get power back. I have no way of getting that kind of money. I am trying to sell some things but I’m on a time crunch. I only have a few days before Disconnection.
I just need some help getting the $744.52 raised so I can get on a better payment plan.
Thank you for reading my story. May you all be blessed.
