Dan | Can a water utility company withhold service from me because of a previous owners unpaid bill? |
Mr. A was the orginal owner of the house and he died of old age and gave the house to his sun Jr. Jr sold the house to Mr. B and Mr. B died in a car accident so the house is sold to me. Before Jr. sold the house to Mr. B he left the house with a big unpaid water bill. And the service has been d/c ever since. Now I want to open water service for the house and the Sunbelt Fresh Water Supply company wont let me unless I pay the unpaid bill for this house. |

Quite common for water companies to have this policy, i would not be surprised in the future that the electric companies will follow, |

Wow! I did not know the water company could do this. I was under the impression that you could transfer your bill over to the new address. I think you should seek legal advice. |

Consult an attorney. |
|
educated guess
 |
They cannot. Usually you have to prove the beginning date of your residency to show them there was an actual sale , that you are the new owner and not related to the person who owed the prior bill. |

Yes they can. It should have all come out before you signed the closing documents and took possession of the house. Sue the sellers. |
|

Since they are, seems likely they can and are.
Are you willing to fight them in court? |

Get legal help NOW. They are trying to screw you. |

did you have an atty rerview the paper work. he would look at leins on the house and have them paid at closing by seller. see your closing atty. |

Yes they can. First, check with the water company to see if there is an unpaid lien on the property for the past due water bill. Also ask them for a copy of your city's Water Use and Regulations Ordinance. This will define what your rights as a customer are. In the city I live in, a new owner is liable for all unpaid past due bills for a property regardless of who's name the bill was in. In most cases the past due bills are taken care of by the relator or title company at the time of sale, or a lien is put on the property for past due bills. If it is stated that you are liable for this past due amount, please talk to a lawyer because it is possible to get out of this problem. Often times when a city is threatened with lawsuit over a bill like that it will be cheaper for them to write off that debt rather than go to court. So, push the issue because most likey, you'll win. Good luck! |

The title company or atty. should have known about this to pay in escrow. Good luck! |

In VA, an unpaid water bill results in a lien against the property. That lien should be recorded and show up on public records. when you bought the house the company doing the settlement should have done a title examination and this lien should have been paid for and released prior to the sale (should've come out of seller's monies.) This was the attorney's mistake and unfortunately you would have to go back to whoever did this settlement and have them take care of it. A water lien in VA goes against the property, and they can refuse service to you.
Now, if they never filed and recorded a lien with the county, it is on the water company and they have no right to refuse service to you since you were not the one who incurred those charges.
DO NOT pay the bill unless you absolutely have to, but your first step is to contact the law office/title company who did your settlement and ask if the title examination showed any water bill liens on your property, and go from there. |

No, they can't hold you responsible for someone elses unpaid bill. Maybe they are somehow linking you as partially responsible due to a past association with Jr. Could that be possible? If there was an outstanding debt on this property, the real estate agent, if there was one, would have known about it. |
