need help paying an old electric bill from 2005 or 2006

[LeslieAnnWest]

I recently was approved for HUD in Kansas but I owe a back bill on my electric. Empire District Electric Company told me that they want the payment in full and will not let me get it turned back on in my name til its fully paid. I am currently unemployed and trying to raise an 8 yr old daughter. I would really appreciate any help that I can get.

In kansas try the Heatshare program. 1-800-336-4547. The program provides cash grants and payments toward paying heating, cooling and air conditioning bills and can go toward electricity, natural gas, heating oil, propane, electric bills, fuel oil or wood bills throughout Kansas
