What can I do to avoid my power being cut off?
Full Question:
Consumers energy of MI is demanding that I pay 677.00 monthly after allowing our bill to reach a 7000.00 status. I had filed a complaint last May over a payment arrangement. In September I received a letter stating they discovered an outstanding unresolved issue and closed the issue. I did not receive statements and made numerous calls and filed more complaints. They disconnected our service and would not reconnect until we paid 778.00 which I borrowed. I am not able to pay 677.00 monthly, pay house payment, etc. and they will not accept any other arrangements! I need help quickly! I have contact public utilities and they sent them the complaint. Again I received the same answer. We do not qualify for aid nor grants. Our services will be disconnected again without an April payment of 677.00.

Answer:
We cannot give legal advice, and are not forming an attorney-client relationship with you. The following is not a substitute for the advice of a local attorney. But we hope the information will be useful.
Your problem is a difficult one, and we suggest you get legal representation. The only solution that occurs to us is a court injunction against your power being cut off, or bankruptcy. You need the advice of a local attorney.
