    I live in Virginia, 4 years ago I was seperated from my husband and incurred a 400 gas bill, when I got stuck by roommates, thought I paid 160 on it, my part, but can't find the records, anyway, now back with my husband, who bought a house last year and has had gas with this same co for over a year, his last bill was 14 dollars, paid that then comes a terminiation notice to pay 400 in 1 week or get shut off, when I called the company, they said since he was my spouse they added my bill to his, is this legal, ? I don't have 400 to pull out in 1 weeks notice, have contacted commissioner of utilities they are looking into it, but said may be legal? can any one help?

    Unethical, at the least. Anxious to see what the commissioner comes up with.

    How did they discover that you were back 'at home'?

    Can you contact the bank that you drew the check on? If you paid by check that is. I know it's a long time ago but they may still have the records and even if they charge you to send them, it won't be $160.
