Electricity shut-off notice: help Toru pay $450
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Toru needs $450 before October.
🇯🇵 Japan2,005 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $450. 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 $135 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $450 goes:
• Heating arrears: $180
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $215
Thank you so much.
