I was going to supply the heating and A/C specialist a post-dated check, although I didn’t know when I could make it good, if it was for the cost of a new boiler
I knew I couldn’t go without heating and A/C. I had a newborn baby, and I had nowhere else to go. When the boiler broke, I didn’t know about it twice. I picked up the cellphone, and asked them to come service my boiler. I looked at my checkbook and knew that if the price went over $100, I wouldn’t have enough money to pay the heating and A/C specialist. When the central heating and A/C specialist showed up, I tried to tie him down to an estimate of what the repairs were going to cost. He told me he couldn’t do that until he did an inspection to find out where the problem was; Once he knew if he needed parts, and what the work was going to be, he could possibly supply me an estimate. After almost an hour, the heating and A/C specialist came back upstairs. Not only couldn’t he supply me with an estimate, although he couldn’t service the boiler. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I needed heat because I had a three-week old son. I couldn’t afford a new boiler, if I couldn’t afford to have repairs made. I was going to supply the heating and A/C specialist a post-dated check, although I didn’t know when I could make it good, if it was for the cost of a new boiler. I started to cry, and the heating and A/C specialist sat down at the table with me. He asked when I would be going back to work? I offered him my date for returning, and he asked how much I could afford biweekly once I got back to work. He said that there was no reason I couldn’t make payments to the heating and A/C supplier, and the first payment wouldn’t be due until a month after I got back to work.
