Hello, (Updated no longer need help,please read!)

I am posting this today to see if we can get help with our electric bill. I recieved notice yesterday that if it's not paid by the 23rd of April they are going to shut it off. We have 3 children and my husband has been down with his hip not able to do much. I am on disablity and only draw $550 a month. Our electric bill is $498. I have gotten all of my other bills paid for and was hoping that our electric bill would drop thismonth but with this cold snap we have gotten and a faulty switch on the heater that stopped it from turning off, we got hit with a huge bill. Any help would be greatly appricated and I will return it as soon as I am able, promise. I will also send copies of the bill and where payment has been made to you so you'll know that is what it went for. I wouldn't lie about this, I don't know what we'll do with out electricity. I am trying to sell somethings around the house to help us come up with the money to help pay for it. I thought we would have more time to come up with the money.  We are in desparete need, so if you can help, I promise to pay you back  some how.  God Bless! 

The Lord works in mysterious ways!! A few hours after posting this I found out I won a contest I entered last year. The prize money is more than enough to cover my electric bill. My electric company is going to work with me until the prize money comes in. Thank you Lord! And thank you everyone for your prayers!

I am in desperate need of some help with electric bill. It has been shut off for over a week now. They want 1000.00 to turn back on. How the bill got so high is a long story, my mom had died a year ago and I continued paying the electric bill that she had on the level pay plan which was 150.00 a month, anyways one month I had asked my landlord to pay my bill for me while I was at work and she said why don't you put it your name, so I called and did. Two days later they came and turned it off and said that I was responsible for my mothers bill so I had it turned back on which also included a 450.00 deposit and I also took us off the level pay plan, well how that works is you have to pay a ballon payment at the end of each year and that balloon payment was 750.00, so I had that plus my deposit and plus the current monthly bill. I tried my hardest to keep up with it. My husband has been very sick, and I got layed off and my job and having a hard time finding another one, I do odd jobs here and there to barely survive. I desperately need some help.

There are four of us all disabled in the house, all on disability, all over 65. Two on dialysis. Power bill went from $200 a month to over $500+ a month nothing added. Kwh went from 2,000 kwh to 4,000 kwh now they want an increase of $500 deposit and two months of $500 for a total of $1,500. Need help to pay this bill, we are all on SS and SSI. Please help or they will shut us off on the 9/24th of this month. Only have an 1,100 square foot house with two a/c's. no reason for such high bills. Been to public service comm. No justification or reason given for increase. How unusual! Help Please. hodespj@aol.com
