Electricity shut-off notice: help Bella pay $600
Bella is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.
🇺🇸 California, United States983 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 $600. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $600 goes:
• Utility arrears: $230
• Reconnection and late fees: $160
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
