utility bills and bankruptcy

Are you able to claim current utility bills on bankruptcy petitions. We are also concerned about them denying us electric after filing. Is it possible and legal for them to do so if we include them in our list of creditors.

Re: utility bills and bankruptcy

You must include all debts in your bankruptcy filing, including utitlity bills. The utilities may require a deposit in order to continue service, but a shutoff generally is not a problem with which you have to deal.

This is general information for discussion purposes. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific legal situation.
