PLEASE HELP MY POWER HAS BEEN SHUT OFF!

Post by vervainangel »

I desperately need help with getting my power turned back on. I have paid something towards the bill every paycheck but Alabama power wanted all of it and since I didn't have all of it they shut my power off. I work but my hours were cut at work and it's been hard with all my bills. It is so hot out right now (over 95 degrees) and I've lost all the groceries in the refrige. Me and my children are desperate right now and don't know where to turn. I've tried United Way and places like that but they say I don't qualify for their programs. Please I need help.
Urgent help with Alabama Power.Any help would be so apprectiated. Below is the number to help, you can pay via bill matrix.
Account 44882-57034 For Street address begining with 2251 ( It will verify it during payment )
https://paymentssoutherncompanies.billm ... bamaPower/
It goes directly to the company through bill matrix. or call bill matrix at 1-800-835-2702
The money won't go to me but right to my power bill. Alabama power will only turn it back on when it's been paid.

Thank you and God bless!

Here are some programs offered by Alabama power

One is the fact that Alabama Power Co. will help customers who are verified as federal government Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or part of the Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients will not be billed a monthly service charge of approximately $8.91. Call 1-800-245-2244 to ask about this or other programs.

Another option is Project Share. The project share program operates year round and serves utility bill help to those on fixed or low incomes senior citizens, disabled persons. Potential clients who are in need of help or want to learn more should apply for Project SHARE assistance at the local American Red Cross office in their county.

I just moved into my neighbors rental house because I had nowhere else to go. I can’t afford to have electric and water turned on and is having to stay in the cold house and use candles for light. I shower wherever and whenever I can. My family has robbed my House so anything I did have of value I can’t sell to help me out because I no longer have it. I don’t know what else do and know I can’t go on like this much longer. I have asked everyone I know for help and have even tried to sell my only vehicle for 1,000 just to be able to turn on power, water and buy groceries with whatever is left.

If those amounts for your power bill are accurate, that means it is costing you $300 per month! That is outrageous for someone seeking assistance. No electric bill should be that high, unless you live in a mansion. So it appears as if you are wasting power and not living a frugal lifestyle. So while you can try to apply for power and electric bill help, good luck getting an agency to assist you.

Is there anyway to help my family?
I am in desperate need of assistance with my Power bill in the amount of $380.62 before April 20th or its going to be turned off, and since I missed the date my power has been shut off. A lot of the charity organizations I have called are out of funds.
My husband has yet to be able to work and is going to have to file for disability…. If his headache didn’t cause him to pass out he would be ok to get a job, but I’ve come home from work and found him passed out in the floor, he’s had 4 concussions from falling and hitting his head and has been told by many doctors if he has another one it could kill him…… He already is suffering with severe memory loss…..
My 13 year old daughter is having some severe anxiety due to family issues with her father my ex husband and i cant leave her alone for a long period of time, even more so now that are power has been shut off….. We didn’t even get to have Christmas this year….
