<prompt> Human: I havent paid my gas bill in about 9 months. I live in the northeast in a large drafty old apartment and once the cold weather came, my bill went from about 80 a month to nearly 300. I also was out of work for a period of this time and I was struggling to make ends meet.I owe about 2000. I am in a much better position now to take care of this debt and want to get it under control. Im honestly embarrassed that this got so far out of hand and am looking for advice on how to move forward. I am not able to pay off the full amount right away, but definitely want to get current as soon as possible.  <response>: call the utility company
