I have been without a meter in my home for over 4 months now I am a single mom with three schoo l age children and have offered to do what ever it takes to get it back in my home I m pretty sure everyone knows that there is not many people that have jobs and the unempolyment is very high in michigan I was able to borrow money from a family member to pay it but still kathy over in the credit dept and barbara felt that wasn t good enough for them at consumers energy. I am like tired of running to friends homes bathing my children and boiling water.
