hi have you contacted the council you should do so right away.

[kenster1 in reply to kenster1]

also you have kids so that should be classed as an emergency.

[Winniepooh1976 in reply to kenster1]

Hi Kenster my house is owned by us so don't know they could help.

[kenster1]

hi if you put it down as an emergency they may let you pay in instalments.the council could still come out even if its a bought house.

Thank you tried to get a credit agreement but because my husband is my carer they said we are unemployed. My son is going to help out so thank goodness I had children😂😄 Have a good weekend.

where abouts are you? if you are uk based there are schemes you can go through whether your a home owner , private tenant or council. many energy companies also have these schemes. the green scheme is one of them, cant remember any others but have a look around.
