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.
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 em
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*t
.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.
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!!!!
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.
I've had that issue once in awhile back in the Pots business.
most of the time they only want a copy of the new lease. then they will turn service on
