utility bills

[dogbone33]

We included ours. What we had to pay in security and first month was way less then what we put in our bk, so it was worth it. They sent us a bill about a month after we filed, which included deposit and 1st month. However, I got on and set us up for a budget so it cut our payment in half. So, maybe if you move before they would turn off stuff I wouldn't worry about paying anything. I guess it depends on when you file then when you move. We were planning on moving before they said we needed to pay the deposit or they would shut off but that didn't happen so we had to pay. Otherwise, we weren't going to be here so we would've let them shut it off.

Has anyone had any experience with verizon wireless or comcast (internet/cable)? Will they close my accounts?

Verizon didn't but we caught up so they wouldn't. They were included since we HAD to list EVERY creditor no matter what. But we were behind then paid them and still have them....

That's news to me. Listing all creditors (I wouldn't even consider a utility-company a "creditor") is not a requirement - listing all creditors you actually owe money to, however, is.
