Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

I am my sewerage company (township supervisors) 750.00. I am disabled and finally qualified for medicare and cheap insurance. I told them I could now start paying on the past due bill, but they said they WILL NOT accept payments. That they will now shut my water off or put a lien against my property. Do I have any rights? I am living on disability. I already had paid them 140 but the bill they sent me says 856 and does not reflect my payments. I never received my money orders back.

Get a lawyer to intercede for you - try PA legal aid if you qualify. I don't understand why something cannot be worked out. Also, what grants, if any, might be available from the municipality - they have them for electric and gas so maybe there is for water/sewage for low income people. Failing that, sometimes churches or other charities will provide assistance up to a certain amount. Any amount here will help you. Good luck.
