Disconnection Support

A calm space to help you respond to utility disconnection threats. No panic. No pressure. Just clear, protective steps.

Disconnection threats feel scary — but you have rights

Utility companies often use dramatic wording, even when they legally cannot disconnect you without proper process.

This tool helps you understand what’s actually happening and what you can do right now.

Select your situation

Choose the option that matches what’s happening. The system will guide you step-by-step.

Your protections

You have strong rights when it comes to disconnection. These include:

  • Clear explanation before any action
  • Fair investigation of billing issues
  • Reasonable timeframes
  • Access to payment plans
  • Extra protections if you’re vulnerable
  • Access to all notes and records

You don’t need legal wording — the system handles that for you.

If things feel heavy

If the situation feels overwhelming, talking to someone you trust — a friend, family member, or a professional — can help lighten the load.

You don’t have to carry everything alone.

You’re safe. You’re capable. You’re allowed to breathe.
