The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $600. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without heating 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 $600 goes:
• Utility arrears: $290
• Reconnection and late fees: $175
• Down payment on a payment plan: $135
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Marcus. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Columbus.
