Don't let Douglas's family go through winter without electricity
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Douglas needs $550 before August.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom815 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $550. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $550 goes:
• Utility arrears: $340
• Reconnection and late fees: $90
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
