Answer 1

Something Fishy about this.. $1900 how could this be?
Try to get some advise from a Attorney...I do not think you can be asked to move because of your trouble with Power Co..............

Answer 2

I think that is just ridiculous, the power company always shuts off our power if we are even close to $200.00 ... I think people should call and make a complaint, and help this family! Having a handicap ed person in your home makes that a totally Illegal action. I hope more people Read this Question and help this family, especially threw these cold cold nights. They should at least have made some kind of payment arrangements it is to darn chilly outside!! My prayers go out to this family..

good luck with your apt hunt, don't mention your outstanding power bill though.
