citys electric dept. redistribution of wealth plan

looks like i may need to get that solar panel/battery bank plan dusted off. during covid i owned a house with two rentals and used the rentals to make the payment. i had to have the rentals full to make it work. covid happens, family of 5 in the cabin get 600 ea to pay rent so 3k. but the guberment says go buy a new tv, economic stimulus,,,dont worry about rent the landlord cant evict you. i still pay mortgage, commercial insurance,lawyer ect. so they stop paying. one renter moves to nebraska and does not tell me for 2 months. finally calls, wants security deposit back and would you mind packing all my stuff in the truck i left. had a cat & dog place trashed.
second renter family of 5 stops paying. smelting gold in my garden from the mine they have down the road. yes, really. by the time they lift the eviction ban and i can evict them my c/c maxed, savings gone. they paid and moved out the day ban lifted. by the time i rehabbed the damage on both units i decide maybe rentals are not for me. so i sell the house in a down market at a loss and move into a bus in the parking lot behind a business i own free and clear. 100' from highway, 130' from train tracks in the flight path of airport 6 miles away. the atv/dirt bike path in front bothers me the least. all the peace and serenity of living in a freeway under pass. anyway i get a electric bill for the cabin today from 1-21 they didn't pay. 105$
i cant get food stamps, heating assistance none of it because im self employed. this is not the first time. the electric was in renters name they have another account that the city could attach this 4 year old bill to,,, but wont. last one was different renter 300$ same thing and i fought it up to the state atty general. i forget what they reduced it to but to keep the rental i paid it. my income now is 580 a month. i have health issues from eating mre and mountain house for over a year and cant afford good food.
im livid. il talk to them tomorrow but i expect the same thing i got last time. applying for s/s medicare tomorrow. i did a zoom call at the senior center about s/s today. on a positive note i changed arthritis meds and i can go up and down stairs again one at a time. soooo

A. shut up and pay it
B. fight it again
C. unplug from the grid will cost est 600$ to close account & remove meter
D.sue?
E. ???

fuck me to tears.

 

I'd be tempted to go with E. ???, but that could get you sent to prison. I'd go with A. and pay 10% of my monthly income, in you case $5.80 per month. Also, applying for s/s medicare isn't gonna help, because without the social security check you will have to pay the monthly premiums yourself...mine amounts to $225 per month. You might have to look into a Medicare Advantage plan that could cost you nothing but has limitations. The Medicare Advantage plan could help with food, and other things. These plans have limitations in coverage, and many people advise against them. I don't have a Medicare Advantage plan.

 

i like the 5.80 a month plan,,,, yeah not worth three hots and a cot. i can pay it,, but it really irks me.
definitely medicare, not medicade. sis has that so im familiar with that rabbit hole.
5.80 it is. thanks.

 

i seem to say thankyou alot on here. b&a with 5$ a month. solar is a bit unrealistic in a rain forest.
family has suggested going back to the lower 48. at this point i need to stop being a whiny bitch and be grate full for what i have and adapt. il get there just had to vent a little.,,, ok alot.

 

But Medicare isn't free (well Part A is free but Parts B and D cost), and Medicaid is free! Are you ready to fork over 1/2 of your monthly income until you reach 68 years of age, and you have to pay 3 months at a time, so that's $675 every three months! Alaska is no place to be old, in bad health and broke!

 

i have no health care so 180 out of the 687 il get i s/s seems ok.

 

i was so pissed when i posted this i forgot the trigger. last month i got a elec bill for the cabin mailed to me at my po box but for a account in some one elses name. so i call electric billing. said i sold that property three years ago, never heard of this guy, take my name and po box off this property. she gets pissed says well im going to look into this and hangs up,,, ok good look and see i dont own that any more. this month i get the 4 y/o bill for the cabin. what makes me think this is some tax the rich, redistribution of wealth scam is,,, why is she pissed over not updating my info after i sold. after i sold the house i went to elec billing in person, hey sold the house. ok here is your final bill. i look at it and say ok, final bill, account closed would you go back and make sure there are no out standing bills in my name or renters so i dont get a bill later tied to this property. he goes and looks, nope all paid up no other bills due on any of it. until now. so her snarky im gonna look into this and hung up is what resulted in the 4 y/o bill.
il talk directly to the manager today and see what happens. its not about the 105$ it about not letting a leftist piss on me and say its just raining. standard operating procedure is bill the land lord, dont even try to go after the renter that has account. man am i glad i sold that place.

 

How can they stick you with the bill when the account was in the renter’s name? Unless you were an cosigher I don’t see it

 

they go after landlord/property owner. easy to find? i called today and manager said im all paid up,,, then read letter id# and said i owe 105.96. i told them i went in after i sold and was told no outstanding bills, like she said 3 miniutes ago. said its my account this time but she will look into it. if they persist on adding it to my current account il file a complaint with electric commission and state a/g. was renters account last time. oh well.
