pay a bill thats not mine?

Question

elect. co is billing me for somesones bill they owe for 6 months

Answer 1

They can't do that. Talk to a lawyer.

Answer 2

If you were a signer on the bill then you are responsible, if you resided at the location in question and are listed on the lease you owe the bill. If either of these are not the case for example you have lived there for only 30days you just need to prove your term of residency and that you have no association to the person that owes the debt. You may need assistance from the advocate assigned to the utility - when you call to resolve the issue if they are uncooperative ask to speak to the advocate to present the information on your behalf.
Good Luck!

Answer 3

I'm not sure what the laws/regulations are in your city/state, but if the bill isn't under your name, you should not be required to pay unless the law/regulations states that you must. Have you tried to call the electric company and ask them how to resolve it?

Answer 4

You should not have to pay it. However were you in the premises at the time the bill was for?
If not, send the bill back and explain to them that this is not your bill.
Good luck

Answer 5

No, dispute the bill with the company. Don't pay for services not rendered.

Answer 6

You shouldn't pay. It's the other guys responsibility. If the company cuts your electricity call them and say that if you don't get it back you'll sue them.

Answer 7

tell them that's not your bill and you are not going to pay it.
