What organizations can help me with my bills?

Question

I'm going through a terrible divorce, and i have been unemployed up until a few weeks ago. I need help with my utilities and have run out of options.

Answer 1

Other than state aide (which can take forever) try local churches or a group like catholic charities (you do not have to catholic). Also you may call you utility companies and see if they have temp programs or if they could give you a # to some of these programs. The water companies usually have a list.

Answer 2

Contact consumer credit counseling..it is a non-profit agency that can help you make arrangements with your creditors. http://www.cccsatl.org/

If you need help with the utilities contact your local government or the utilities directly. They will direct you to the appropriate agencies.

You could also contact the United way, food banks and wic if you have small children. Also contact your church if you are a member.

Good luck and I'm sorry for you and your family.

Answer 3

apply for food stamps and health insurance

Answer 4

every county operates differently. hopefully this will  get you started. in my county you can call each utility company. some of them have a financial assistance  program they offer. also if they do not have a financial assistant program they can give you phone numbers and direct you to some orginizations and help programs in your area.

Answer 5

Hi

I would say start here as you will need a credit report. Then you will need to keep it locked down so to speak which they can help you with too...

My friend used it for the same situation and he thanked me for telling him so they should be able to help you.

Best wishes!
