Here is the synopsis:
We moved into a new home back in July. Electricity is on. We call the electric company and try to get service in our name. No luck. The company tells us that although they were not at liberty to say who was on the electricity account to our residence (customer privacy), that it had been paid. We talk to the next man in charge, same story. Same story song and dance until September. We then go to our landlord and ask her if she knew what was up with our electric bill. She had no clue either and said we only owed her rent and nothing else.
Finally, we get the electricity on in September in our name. Great. Okay, we ask the electric company what was the issue. They are not at liberty to discuss. Okay. Fast foward 3 weeks. We get a nastygram from not the landlord we rent from, but the BUILDER of the home who says we owe her $600 something bucks for the electric she FORGOT to turn off once the property was relinquished to the landlord.
