Power Company ALLOWS another party to pay my bill for over a year, NOW DEMANDS FUNDS!

[quincy]

OF course MD is Not PA....but utility turnoffs can be problems many places .

I agree OP owes it ..and his buying a car is not relevant ....it's largely a matter of negioation of a repayment schedule that is workable for both sides ...not necessarily prefect for everyone ..that said OP, if you make an agreement , stick to it..no slip ups

Personally I think seeking a 4 year payback is way too long to be reasonable
