    do they charge fees for overdue utilities, they dont over here, and people i know have overdue charges for utilities they dont charge extra fee, they just shut off the power after a certain amount of time, due to him being a pushover unable to stop a hoarding wife that also shops, plus not able to rent because he wont fix the house.

      They do, but it’s much less likely to be cut off than being evicted or starving, so if you have to not pay something the power company is the first to be skipped.

      I have about $60 in late fees on it, now, which is actually pretty low for late fees compared to most places.

      Perhaps because we’re all hydro, here, and don;t have a datacenter explosion… Yet.
