Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia
payments
Can a utilities company deduct a payment from someone other than yourself for a balance due on an account? After discontinuing service a balance was deducted from my daughters account for a remainder of a bill withour my or her authorization. She had used that card before for my account but it was not the primary card on the account.

Re: payments
If this card had been previously offered to this utility company to pay a particular account, and a balance remained due and owing on the account after service had been disontinued, I see no reason as to why the utility could not charge to this card this amount that was apparently still owed on the account.
