I need help with my rent and water and lights.
I would like to know why the commitment to assist for my elderly parents was not honored. It was allowed to expire and then it was never applied again. The community action office personnel just kept saying don’t pay anything, but honestly that doesn’t fly with FPL. I don’t understand what is happening - no information other than don’t pay the bill has been given. Is this how Brevard County treats their most vulnerable citizens?
