Gas Bill

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

Try this different services and programs. Washington Gas administers and offers customers the Washington Area Fuel Fund. This fund, which is operated by the Salvation Army, will help those customers who need assistance paying their home utility and heating bills. You can call the Salvation Army in Charles County at 301-645-1561.
As far as turning the service on, I suggesst talking to an attorney as it doesn't sound right to me. You can get free legal advice. Here is more information.

Hello. I live in Charles County in Maryland and have washington gas. My gas was turned off due to non payment but i paid it in full today. They are now saying that i cannot have the gas turned back on until monday. I have a small child and my grandmother living with me. Is there anything I can do to have the gas turned on today? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, thank you for listening and trying to help. My gas just got shut off and because I am so bad with budgeting and was delinquent on 3 payment plans where they wanted way more then I could afford the gas company wants 4400 dollars to get my service restored. I have 5 kids and there is no way my husband and I can come up with that. Do you know of any way I can get it back on and soon before they remove my kids from my home?
Thank you,
Nicole
