Content: You may also need to complete a new financial status form. For example: Mr. and Mrs. Yellow have been facing severe financial difficulties for the past 8 months. As a result, they were unable to pay their Brooklyn Union bill. They received a termination notice from Brooklyn Union in March, 1994. In early April, Mr. and Mrs. Yellow explained their financial situation to a Brooklyn Union representative and entered into a deferred payment agreement in which the Yellows agreed to pay $25.00 per month towards the arrears ~ all current bills. Two months later Mrs. Yellow lost her job. The Yellows spoke to Brooklyn Union about the change in their financial circumstances and entered into a new deferred payment agreement that reduced their arrears payments from $25.00 to $10.00 per month. They were still required to pay current bills. 3.
