Oh what do I do? The Electric company came knocking on my door to collect money or they were shutting us off. And I have about a $1.00 in my checking account! Now what? Not to mention the increase of 25% in the electric company in CT...it benefits everyone but the consumer....as I sit in the dark! New Year HA same problems...I have sent in 2 resumes last week and Nadda! Someone help...the life preservor is far away and I am sinking!

Do you know of any community social services groups that can step in to help you with your bill? Here in GA, we have a charity that helps families to pay their utility bills.

I just did a quick search online, and I found the following links. Maybe one will help you?

HUD's site with links for utility help in Connecticut:

Connecticut Power and Light bill assistance programs:

Thank you for those links...CL&P were the people knocking on my door...then I called them and they are NOT willing to work with me. As for the other site...they already did the WRAP program for us to help conserve the energy. So one bit of good news with that...they just called and we are going to receive the new frige!!!! In 2-3 weeks yay! So off to figure this problem out!
