Old energy bill from a different state
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2018 7:14 am
I would like to know if there is any program that will help me with an outstanding light bill from another state. I was living in CT and I had Energy Assistance where I was supposed to pay $50 every month and they pay the rest. I moved to NY on January 2016 when my boyfriend passed away and I was unable to tackle rent and bills on my own.
I am living with my parents and my three kids, one who is Autistic in a small room. I suffer from mental issues and fibromyalgia. I have been to the shelter three times to get help and no one helps me. My parents want us to leave but I have nowhere to go and I feel the city is not helping me. I finally got good news last month that I was on top of the list for housing in Waterbury, CT-where I was living at. However, they have me on hold to move because they said my utility bill has an outstanding amount.
When I called Ever source (light company), they said I owe $3,400. I told them it can't be because I have been paying my $50 portion every month. Somehow, Energy Assistance failed me and now they're saying I am responsible for this amount. The lady from Housing said I have 90 days to have this bill paid or my name will be removed from the list. I am so devastated. I don't know who to turn to. I cannot pay over $3,500.
I only get $488 monthly (SSI) for my autistic son and $175 every two weeks from PA. I barely can't save to move. Do public assistance pay for utility bills from another state? I need help. I am going to be homeless with my kids. I have a shot of moving from NY to an apartment that is affordable for me and my kids in CT.
My anxiety and depression is high. I feel like I have no one. I have no one helping me at all. Once this bill is paid, I can move to CT and NY will not have to deal with me and my kids again! I won't have to go to the shelter a 4th time again!!! I need help. Please help me and my family. Any advice, any number, any places you recommend for me to go would be greatly appreciated. Please. Thank you.
