Ok so here goes...
I have just relocated to a completely new area nearly 500 miles away from my home town with my 8month old daughter.
I am due to start work next week and have lived in the house for a week now.
This evening my electric meter has cut off with no emergency credit left i topped this up the day i moved in with £10 after obtaining a new key from BG. I thought £10 would be enough to last me through till my payday but alas.
I have taped the freezer shut and i am wrapped up warm. My babygirl has plenty of bottles and her room is nice and warm fortunatly as i made sure her room was carpeted etc before anything else in this house.
I have spoke to BG whom state that theyre unable to help or apply any additional credit and that my electricity meter wont come back on untill i top up enough to cover the emergency and standard credit. Im at a loss on what to do or where to turn...
Babys dad is not on the scene and is the reason i have relocated.
Is there anywhere else i can try.
I am unable to get an overdraft or loan as my ex left us in considerable trouble and i will not be approved for these. And i only have 1 neighbour whom i would rather not approach as they dont loom particularly approachable.
If anyone has any suggestions theyd be muchly appreciated.
I just wish i knew what to do... and looking for advice.
