oil company wants us to pay 900.00 hundred dollars all at once we can;t, I'm disabled and I'm bed bound for several month now and been under doctors care, and needing more extended medical care, and that means more medical bills coming in, and there is know way we can afford to pay all this money at one time, my husband and I our at the level where we can't get help with these bills and debts, and we could of years ago and didn't know it, so we did with out before, and now when we finally found out about some programs we can't get them,
so were left out again, its not fair, I have been disabled for a while and never used any of the programs and now I need the help for some heating bills or we can't get no more oil,

but I do want to change to another oil company after this, because they have been ripping off alot of people, and they were on TV allot of times for different things about over charging, but what can I do, But pay the bill and get a better oil company,

but I need to find one so we don't run out of oil.
and I own a hospital bill and its over a 1200.00 dollars and one for over 200.00 hundred dollars and its hard these days, but were doing what we can. I can't work but I'm trying to do what I can. what are we to do these days, I have know one to talk to, where do I go . lord knows when your trying to pay your bills and are confine to at =
home and no one comes to see you and you even ask the church, and they don't care enough to come then there is something wrong with the matter of church people today isn't it don't you think.

Did you look into the federal government funded Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program? It can help former military members, and is in partnership with the HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section . So it is for low income, can provide emergency rental assistance and other housing aid to the low income, needy, and former veterans. Good news to know you have interviews upcoming. Good luck with those.
You will want to call your local section 8 housing program in your town and ask about the veteran program.

I just lost my job because of a new contractor came in and took over. I have been unemployed for two weeks now with no money coming in. Two days ago I received a oil bill for $465.00, I am a 60% service connected veteran with multiple disability's. I am a member of the American Legion, and tried to contact then for help with a response of we are out of funds. I tried the VFW with no avail and the Veterans Hospital with no avail. I have tried multiple national,state, and local church organizations with the same answer no money for veterans. I am not sure if you know any organizations that may be able to help my situation, I do have multiple federal job interviews coming up in the next month after my back ground and security checks are completed. So it is not like I am not trying to find work, unemployment in the state of Rhode Island takes two months to process new claims. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time in this matter.

I never received the other emails. Sorry. Where did you send them too? Regardless if you are out of oil and need help with heating expenses, try these options. Looks like you have registered from New Jersey area, and Newark. So try these places. The main non-profit and community action agency in your area is United Community Corporation (UCC). (973) 642-0181. They may have emergency heating aid, and possibly oil, or let you know where to go to for it.
Another place to call for help is Salvation Army of Essex County, and their phone number is 908-851-9300. You need to get calling, as some places are not taking new people, but need to be persistent.

The winter has been brutal in Pennsylvania, and many need free fuel or heating bill help. A listing of programs and non-profit agencies to try to call for help include the following. Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Inc. (CAADC). Phone (610-891-5101) They may be the number one place to call. They offer LIHEAP, free fuel, heating oil, and much more to low income, unemployed, and others.
Another place to try may be The Salvation Army of Chester, and that phone number is (610) 874-0423.
They can usually provide a little short term help for people to get on their feet.

I am in desperate need of home heating fuel. I have an 1/8 th of a tank and it is not going to last long. There is no money to buy heating oil. There are 3 of us that live in this house hold. with and income of about $2000 per month and we pay rent, electric, phone & cable and medical bills and gas to go to the doctors and where we absouletly must be there is no money left. I even have to scramble for food becaue the state government in Pennsylvania and my County of Delaware says we make to much for food stamps and free heating fuel. Why must people struggle so much when all they are asking for is a little help to get on their feet. This is all I am asking. for a little help to get oil to keep my home warm just enough to get me through the month. Also my husband is disabled and cannot work because of the bypass surgery that was done 2 years ago. Also I do not have medical coverage, I did qualify for charity care from a hospital here in PA but they only cover seeing a doctor, I must pay for prescriptions which I do not fill because I do not have the money and I must pay for any tests that must be done which I do not do because I cannot afford them. SO PLEASE I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR HELP. This is not a joke.

I am sorry to hear that about your grandparents and family. Sounds like you need much assistance, and being 18 there is help out there for you. A couple options include heating oil buying networks. Also, you should talk to an attorney about your family taking that loan out on the house. May be illegal. Many attorneys offer free legal aid to people in situations like yours. The heating oil network info is here.

Look for legal / pro-bono advice by navigating to the left margin on the site and selecting find free legal aid / advice.

I'm 18 years old and basically live alone with no financial support , I just graduated high school as valedictorian in august and since then its been hard. Two of my family members plotted to take money out of the houses mortgage after my grandparents passed and everyday I'm home just waiting for someone from the bank to come and say hey you got to leave the house is going to belong to us and I'm trying so hard not to let that happen , but what can a 18year old do woth no help or a job. I'm contacting you to see if I can get any assistance I really am in need of help I'm unsure on who else to contact. This winter will be cold and I need help, I need some oil to heat my house up, I have a heat blanket but I'm scared 2 use it, I don't know if one day while I'm sleeping it may catch fire. Also the electric bill is in someone else name that doesn't even live in the house and I'm in fear that I'll be left in a house that will have no heat,lights, and might be taking away at any time. Please if there is anything you can do to help I beg you to contact me back

I live in Naugatuck, Ct. I am currently without any heat since I need oil to heat my apt and at this moment I cannot afford to buy any. I do not qualify for any state assistance because thru their guidelines I am over income, yet I cannot buy food or heat my apt. I live with my 15 year old son. I work full time but it has been extremely difficult this year to keep up with bills and daily expenses. I know that there must be others that may have it more difficult than me but I truly cannot purchase any oil at this moment. Can you please consider my request or guide me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

Try some of the heating oil buying networks. While some may require an auto refill program or commitment for your heating oil tank, some may not. Regardless, at the end of the day, their prices are much cheaper than most dealers and you can save a significant amount of money on heating bills. Try this resource.

I am looking for assistance with home heating oil. I seems that most companies want to fill your tank first and then but you on an automatic refill program which I cannot afford at this time. Is there anyone out there that will let me buy in the increments I can afford? My tank is 550 gallons and just about empty...any suggestions?

There are programs, such as CItgo, that provide free home heating fuel and oil. One option is the Oil Heat program. Qualified individuals can get up to 100 gallons of fuel oil per year, and it does cover Michigan as well. The contact information and phone numbers are on the link below.

There is a family in need of assistance in Mahopac, Putnam County. The gentlemen is elderly and has cancer and with payments to the Doctor he is unable to buy food and pay his monthly bills. He is getting assistance with the food and clothing. However it is the fuel oil that will pose a problem this season. He can't afford his oil, and may go cold this year and freeze. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss how we can help him with oil during the cold Michigan winter.

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

One of the options you may want to try is a home heating buying network. So even though she is only receiving $1100 per month, the way these networks work is you pay a nominal fee to sign up, and you get heating and fuel oil at a big discount. People save hundreds of dollars per year on heating oil. Here is more info.

Hi

Oil prices seem to keep going up and up. Any advise or help would be appreciated.
Thank You
