Update from PG&E (re: SD's outstanding bill)

I spoke to PG&E this morning and they still aren't budging on the issue.  The reason being is that when SD started accruing the negative balance at his other residence, we WERE still married.  Apparently in June 2009 there was a negative balance of $4,900.  We separated the following month.  So even though my name was never on the account, they are trying to attach it to my current residence (because SD's name was on THIS account too). 

 My lawyer is trying to contact them regarding this because he found a clause stating that when we divorced, ALL debts separately accrued, even when we were married we become solely responsible for.  So hopefully this works.

I am so upset about this because this means that until SD pays off his $6,300 balance they will not let me open my own account for my home.  This means that if SD doesn't pay the bill, our power gets shut off.

 I called him again this morning and really let him have it because in August of 2009 (when his account was already negative almost $5K) he bought the following things:

-new rims/tires for his Dodge

-new street bike

-used BMW

-Cargo trailer

-rented a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette for almost $2K

-dropped $400-$500/night at various expensive hotels such as the Hilton, Doubletree, and the Sheraton (high dollar hookers too probably)

So frustrated!

    He sure does sound like a winner :( I really hope your lawyer finds a way around it. I honestly think that with your EXs past, there is no way in hel1  that any judge will hold you accountable for that amount, plus without him paying child support.

    Keep us update!

    That sounds like a horribly sickening situation to be in.  I really hope that your attorney can get it sorted out for you.  If worse comes to worse could you get a loan to pay the amount and get it out of your name then sue him in court?  Of course that is a decision that doesn't sound too great either really but it would prevent your power from being shut off and it wouldn't damage your credit.  If you successfully sued him in court and got a judgement against him and he refuses to pay you may be able to take all that property above and sell it to get the money.  You may have to ask your attorney about that.

    I can't even imagine how pissed you must be at SD. Heck, I'm pissed for you!! I hope your lawyer is able to use that clause to your advantage and you get out of this whole mess.

    I know this must be hugely worrying to you, but I think that the letter of explanation from your lawyer (and getting the issue bumped up to a supervisor) will set everything straight.  If it comes to it, bringing this matter to the judge who finalized your divorce and who can write a letter giving his determination to PG&E will settle this matter.

    Trust that this will all work out.  Worst case scenario, the power can be turned on in your new home under your parents' name (just until the issue is resolved) will prevent you from living in the dark.

    Well the problem isn't me or my credit, it's that the issue is now attached to my residence.  So it wouldn't be as simple as opening up a new account for my house in my parents' name.

    I think that it will all work out, but i really don't wan to have to rely on SD (or have contact with him for that matter) because it leads to opening up a whole can of worms with him. 

    I had him blocked on my cell because he would harass me about seeing P.  Now that I have had to communicate with him about this I unblocked him.  This morning I already received two text messages about how he really, really wants to see P on Father's Day and wants me to *think* about allowing him to do this. 

    A) It's a court order and I will not break it, that he doesn't see P.  He has zero visitation as of December 2010.

    B) Don't contact me, contact the court.

    C) why does Father's Day matter more than any other day of the year?
