If there seems to be some error for the shutting off of your power, you need to go down to the utility company and speak face to face with the manager in order to resolve the situation through a written monthly payment plan.However, if you owe an outstanding balance and cannot pay it off on your own, you might want to try and get a loan from some person you know to get it turned back on. The reason is that the utility company is not required to turn power back on to a delinquent customer. In the meantime, you might have to get by with a generator or candles for light/electricity.
