how do you stop a termination notice on your electric bill?

If you paid part of the bill then you should be fine. You need to call the office & let them know when you can have the rest of the payment & go from there. Just hope you're not in a cold climate.

CHeck with your local electric company, sometimes you can get money back when you lose food, etc.. in storms, particularly when it takes several days to get your electricity back on .

I recently read about new power strips that cut even standby power to equipment that are plugged into them. For example, your computer and printer still draw a current even if shut off. this tricle can add up over the course of a year. These power strips cut off that tricle until the moment the unit is roused from standby.\n\nThis was in a pretty good article in this month's Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine.

Answer the call and wait for a customer representative-  Ask immediately for the mailing address.  Tell them you perfer not to be called at that number. Follow up by sending them a letter stating when you plan to pay and to inform them they are not allowed to contact you at home no longer all correspondence should be in writing. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP A COPY OF THE LETTER IF THEY CONTACT YOU AGAIN IT IS HARASSMENT

Your best bet is to contact your local utility like Edison or PG&E.

No. If the payment is stopped, you can't demand payment any more. You'll have to find another way to enforce your claim.

Call your service provider and complain, complain, complain until they listen to you and get it off.  If you did not accept then it should not be on your phone bill. COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN

I think they are trying to pull a fast one on you! There would be no legal reason WHY you would be responsible. Do they have a legal document stating you have to pay the previous utilities? They have to come up with one to show you before you pay. If not, they need to bill the previous owners, or sent the bill to collections. Then, they need to start a whole new billing for you! They know this..They cannot start a whole new billing for you UNTIL ALL the legal documents are signed and the place is yours. Period.  You do have a lawyer handling this don't you? If not, call the Better Business Bureau, they will help you, or Land Lord Tenant. Good Luck!

Don't sign anything. If they give you a write up sheet or something like it. Don't sign it. You have a case for sure. \n\n\nUnfortunately, they can terminate you regardless. However, after wards you have options. After the fact, the situation favors you, it appears to be an overreaction on their part. Legal action or unemployment would probably swing your way, assuming you haven't signed anything that could be perceived as an admission of wrongdoing.\n\nIf they do terminate you, contact: Unemployment, the Better Business Bureau (or your states equivalent), and a lawyer if you'd like.

Make sure the electric and gas are not connected.  Someone had a good idea about recycling; doors, windows, trim. etc.

depends on state laws.  I know here, they have to notify you in writing...then the calls start.  On the back of their written notification, it usually has the laws that apply to collections on them.  I know here (illinois) can write a letter requesting they no longer contact by phone...and they have to stop.

Tell them their credit rating will be affected by not paying their bill.

...Is your gas and heat part of utilities addendum in your lease agreement?   If so asking the landlord to extract out a separate bill for just you would be discriminatory action against ALL the OTHER residents. He would be very reluctant to do that. Anything a landlord provides to one resident, he must be prepared to provide equally for all other residents.  For instance an announcement is attached to the office door/window for all to see...OR placed on all tenants doors. Time consuming for him to do.

first they can not contact you this often unless you encourage them by promising payments that you do not make.  the best way to get them to stop is to contact a supervisor and calmly discuss what can be done. Or you can actually send them a payment or if you ignore them for 7 years you do not have to pay it. The most responsible thing to do is to contact one of the credit companies that will help with this, you can even ask sears to provide a contact they will handle it from there.  next time, stop buying when you can not pay, the rest of us do not want ot pay your bills.

not much you can do.... get a lawyer, i have easement issues with my neighbor and am currently in a fence war with this meatball. you could contact the electric compnay and see if they have another way to fix it...work with them... but it will be a hard issue to resolve. they use them so that everyone has apower... have to be  there kind of thing... like telephone poles etc. so i dont know what can be done to remove it completely

This is very serious for you. Here is how I interpret the situation. I am taking all the information you gave in your question:\n\n1) one building\n\n2) one electric meter\n \n3) five tenants\n\n4) tenant # 1 lease agreement says the electric is included in rent payment.\n\n5) tenant #2 lease agreement says the electric is divided equally by the five tenants.\n\n6) tenant # 3 (which is you) lease agreement says you will pay 65% of the electric. \n\nYou don't say anything about the other 2 apartments. They must be vacant?\n\nNone of you have received a bill or note from the landlord in at least three months.(Jan. Feb. Mar.). You ask repeatedly and no response from the landlord. THEN you are presented a bill of $2647.00, which you are expected to pay within five days from the date you received it.\n\nYou then called the utility company and they said the bill for $2647.00 was for the entire, total building. You need a copy of the bill showing the specific addresses.\n\nIf I have all this straight it sounds to me like your landlord does not have a clue as to what he does. I will assume all of you have your copy of the leases stating what you signed and agreed to pay, right? Again, if I am correct, you have three choices here.\n1) Go to the landlord and state exactly what you did in your letter above. Ask if he thinks this is a fair deal and why did he do this to you?\n\n2) If you and the other two tenants have the signed leases you really have it made. Here's how: #1 is safe. Take the bill and divide it by five. #2 pays his portion. Since the bill is divided by the five tenants it must be assumed the other four (according to #2s lease) will pay in equal parts the remaining balance of the bill. It is not your fault #1 has his electric included in the rent. It is not your fault that there are two vacant units. SOOOOOOOOOOOO, Divide the$2647.00 by 5 = $529.40 per unit. Right? Now, you do your part and pay 65% of  $529.40= $344.11.  Makes sense, huh?\n\n3) This is the last one, get an attorney.\n\nActually I like my #2 the best. Think about that. I cannot believe I have spent all this time on one answer. I was really angry at the damn landlord. You had better let us know what happens.(me, at least)     MUCH LUCK!!!!
