Good afternoon, I got this email address online and hope that you can be of some assistance with my husband and I in paying our Consumers Energy bill. We are a retired couple and living on Social Security. Back last fall we were having trouble and looked to our local DHS office for assistance and to put a long story short they kept us in limbo for a couple of months just to find out that we make about $200.00 over the poverty limit...needless to say that put us really behind, but, we did manage to get a settlement agreement of $370.00 a month (way over what our actual payment amount).
We were able to keep that until June's payment as we had other pressing payments due such as license plate renewal for our car, car insurance, and a large auto repair. Now we are in default and need assistance and I have looked into several options to no avail. We need to come up with $800.00 to $1000.00 and Consumers Energy will lower our payment which is what we are looking forward to doing. If you can help or direct me to some help we would be very appreciative.
Thank you in advance for any and all help that you can give us.
