What happens if you have a serious electrical problem and can't pay? Not 'my outlet doesn't work'; more along the lines of sparks shooting out of the wall or something else catastrophic.
I'm thinking of a situation where the house is still energized (it's not the POCOs problem or the POCO comes out and tells you it's your problem). Can the POCO make you turn your power off (or shut you down) till you fix it? Can the POCO fix it and charge you?
Lots of places have 'funds' for people who can't pay their heating bills. Are their funds for people who have to fix this sort of stuff?
Also, what if you are part of an unit of housing (townhouse, condo, apartment, etc) can you be forced to fix something?
Thoughts from my peeps?
