in response to whoknew...Yep, I have called every last one of those agencies today and none of them will help because with prepaid lights you don't get a bill. They call you every morning with the balance or you can go to www.myusuage.com to check it. I even tried to get them to take a printout and they still said no. So much for a public service.

I hope this doesn't get deleted.This is a last ditch effort.My family is in need of some help.My lights are going to be cut off by 10am tomorrow.I live in Orangeburg South Carolina, and I have "prepaid" lights with Tri-County Electric Coop.I know it sounds odd buts its true.As of right now I am -$10.00 and by tomorrow it will probably be more like -$17.I do not like asking for help but now I have no choice.My husband and I have been out of work for a year now.We have managed to do side jobs to get the bills paid.My husband just started doing workshop at Vocational Rehabilitation.But he will not get paid until next Friday.We have a 5 month old daughter and we can't let our lights get cut off.I have tried everything I can think of.We have already sold just about everything we own and we have nothing left.We don't have family that can help because they are all struggling as well.My husband is a jack of all trades so to say if there is someone out there that needs something done we will do it.I’m pretty much begging I guess.I am all out of ideas.My rent was due on the first and we are awaiting the eviction notice, my insurance was cancelled on the 25th of February, I have a title loan on my car that was due on the 7th of February.All the money that we get goes straight to the light company.I am not worried about everything else right now I just really need to keep the lights on.Some would say just live without them, but I live in a trailer that needs ALOT of work and we don't have central heat just a little space heater and if it's not on it will get below 40 in my house.We are next to being homeless but once my husband starts getting his check we will be ok.Please don’t think badly of me for doing this I just don't have any other option.If there is anyone out there who is willing to help us it will be greatly appreciated.I am currently enrolled at the University of Phoenix online.I do my homework at McDonald's where the Wi-Fi is free.I am expecting my loan check to come in by the end of March beginning of April.I can pay you back if need be then.Please just help us to stay warm.I will provide the information needed to call the light company if someone wants to help anonymously.The account number is 10022101.My name is Kristy McCutcheon they will probably ask for it.You can call anytime 24/7 to make a payment over the phone.The phone number is 1.877.874.1215.Thanks in advance for helping and Thanks also for taking the time to read this.Please don't think badly of me for this.I really didn't want to have to do it.You can contact me via email at kristy0110@msn.com. I would give my phone number but I really don't need the spam right now, I have way too much going on in my life.God Bless You.
