Recently no moved to Humboldt, TN and are trying to get our electric cut on, the required deposit is $260. After paying all that we have securing a place to stay, the expenses of moving our stuff to Humboldt from Lexington, rent deposit, etc....we haven't been able to come up with money the for the utility deposit. Been without lights and AC for 3 days now. Do you offer assistance of these kind of problems? If not, could you point me in the right direction?! Please and thank you. -ROBYN

There are free legal aid services and lawyers in Georgia. Maybe they can give you advice on the utility issues you have. Look here for a free lawyer in Georgia.

My previous address was with City Of Griffin. And now I'm told that my provider has to be Georgia Power, which is the legal question I hav. It is a $150 deposit and we are struggling to get the money up for it. Can I have someone give me a call.

If you have a job for paying future energy bills, then you can look into some of the deposit assistance programs. They can even help people with little or no money....but you really need a future income to support yourself.

As of July 29 2019, myself and spouse who is the only one currently employed have paid the first month’s rent and was given the key to our House. We are renting but at the moment are unable to pay the 300$ deposit to connect the electricity and the 80$ deposit for water. We are managing the best way possible, please help us for the utility deposits.

While it does not always occur, sometime Washington LIHEAP will pay for a deposit. now is also the time to enroll...as most programs open up on October 1. There is a toll free number to dial to try for information on electric deposit help.

Hello,
My family and I are having a financial hardship and in need of assistance in paying utility bills. We are a family of 6.
I lost my job the end of September and my husband is the only one working right now. If you could please help at this time it would be greatly appreciated as it would be hard for our family to go with no electricity, water or gas for warm showers.

I am needing help paying for my utility deposits for my electric, gas and water. I have paid the rent, I just need help get everything on. My 8 year old daughter and I left our home with my husband who was physically and verbally abusing me and verbally abusing my daughter. So I quickly left with her and got a new home that he does know where it is, so we are safe.
I just am having a hard time getting this done with my utility deposits. I also will need to get some groceries also. My estranged husband continues to call and text all kinds of ugly stuff and making threats. So I need this home because we will be safe.

To whom it may concern,
I have fallen on hard times and in need of some assistants. My bill is currently $1246.52. I have been getting my finances together and cannot afford the $450 deposit the public housing authority is requesting by June 9, 2017. They are now threatening to disconnect my gas/electric and I am running out of resources. I am asking for your help to get me back on my feet.

In rare cases LIHEAP can pay utility deposits. But it really depends on your state, income, and whether or not you can pay future utility bills on your own. Having kids will also assist in your application process for deposit help. So try LIHEAP in your county.

If you can't afford the electric bill in Connecticut, how can you possibly plan on keeping up with the rent and other bills? Especially if you have 3 kids. You need more long term support, so maybe try a budgeting or payment program in the state. There are many ways to get utility help in Connecticut, as this shows. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... _and_.html

I am disabled with 2 children. I have found us a home but need help with electric deposit of 494.08 and help with food. I applied for food stamps but they said I don't qualify for emergency aid. They said this because as of right now I don't have running water and the house that has our stuff in it that I pay rent on now is less than the house I pay for in the future. Pretty much as of right now we are homeless until I get money for this deposit. It is owed to Tri county electric in Lancaster Missouri. Please help.
