Keep the heating on at Atul's home in Chennai

A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Atul needs $150 before November.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without heating 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Atul's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: โ€ข Electricity arrears: $85 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $20 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $45 With deep gratitude, Atul

    Is electricity arrears the biggest cost or is there more coming?

    • Atul L. ShahOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Electricity arrears is $85 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

  • Lucian Razvan Dinu

    Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Fortaleza but we're thinking of you. God bless.
