The power company's contention was that I can't order the disconnect of someone else's service, which does make sense. Once the safety guy signed off that it was an abandoned service, they didn't press me for the outstanding bill left by the account holder.Spectrum tried telling me that I had to pay the last tenants bill before they would connect me. I told em that was illegal they didn't care. A call from my lawyer cleared that up real fast
Don't dtv run a credit check when you sign up? I had to put in my ssn and dob the site alerted me they were running my credit!! Who knows weather they run a hard check or a soft check to see if one stiffed emCorrect.
I get that... though the old people never disconnected service at the old location left the modem and router there as well maybe they forgot it who knows. They did wind up calling em and got no response from the last owners. I had to go into a store and show proof I owned the place!!! I also returned the old boxes. I basically told em they were full of sh*tThe power company's contention was that I can't order the disconnect of someone else's service, which does make sense.

I would too but, addresses do get flagged because of previous tenants. Some CSR's will tell you the status of the address and tell you if it can or can not get service.If I ever moved into a place and found that I couldn't get a service that I was eligible for due to the previous tenant, I'd be livid.
Should depend on the person's credit as well as how long they been a dtv sub with a good payment history and not the address. The ones that screwed dtv should have to pay a hefty deposit!!!!I would too but, addresses do get flagged because of previous tenants.

I agree with you but, It don't work that way. I know a person who went through that same thing. The address was flagged and they could not get cable service at the address. Sometimes it could be from non payment to not returning equipment and ending service earlier than what's on your contract.
It does happen. Once I rented this apartment and went down to have the gas turned on and they refused because there was a bill owing from a former tenant. Ridiculous.It does happen. Some tv providers and utilities do flag properties because of previous tenants relationship with them.
I've had that issue once in awhile back in the Pots business.The power company's contention was that I can't order the disconnect of someone else's service, which does make sense.

Which is just plain stupid ...
That type of thing should go with the person, why should a bad crdit or lack of payment be held to a loction, its the person that didn't pay it, not the location.
That would be like if i had bad credit, I move to another house and my credit is no longer bad ...
they also do it to get the new customer deals as wellProbably just like the power company people say they are leaving the address and then put services under a different family member and rinse and repeat history of bad payments. It’s sucks but I think that is the reason they do it.

most of the time they only want a copy of the new lease. then they will turn service onThat's usually where the landlord has to get involved and let them know that a totally different new tenant has moved in.
