I was hurt at work back in July 2009 and as a result fell behind on my rent and bills. My job which initially didn't want to take me back until I filed for Unemployment finally did, but at 2/3rds of what my pay was.

I managed to pay off my Phone, gas (National Grid), and electricity(Con Edison). Six days after I paid the electric bill fully I get a bill for the same amount, plus $112, which from what I can tell is not what I owe but a "deposit requirement". Basically the letter says that my electricity will be cut off if I don't pay it.

Not being homeless is my priority and I'm not going to be able to pay anything until the beginning of February. And that still won't be a $112 deposit.

Can someone advise me on whether or not I have any legal recourse?

Thanks.
