Keep the electricity on at Víctor's home in Tarragona

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Víctor needs $500 before December.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $500. 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 $100 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $500 goes: • Utility arrears: $280 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
