To make a long story short, my roommate is moving out so I'm in the process of transferring some utility accounts into my name. We had a separate bank account for our heat and electric that we shared. Well, the heat bill ended up pretty out of control and I had the gas company put us on a payment plan. Since that bill was in my name and it was important that those arranged payments were made on time, I just ended up paying from my personal checking account every month. I did not ask her for money but instead left her with the responsibility of paying the electric bill, which was in her name. I stopped putting money into the shared bank account. I call to transfer the account today and the woman told me that it hasn't been paid in months!!! Apparently, the electricity is days away from being shut off!!! They sent notices to my roommate and SHE NEVER TOLD ME!!!! anyway, I have to pay a $250 deposit to start my own account. My question is can they make me pay an unpaid bill that was in someone else's name? I don't know how much she owes but I would imagine it's at least a couple hundred.
She is officially moving out in four days and this is not the only problem I'm having with her. It is simply one of many! Unbelievable. Grrrrrrr!
