How can I get utilities when I have bad credit with the utility companies?
Answer:
They may settle, especially if a collections agency has contacted you. ie: you owe $500, but they might take $300 and call it square. It's not very good for your credit score, but you'll be able to get your utilities.
If they don't offer to settle, paying off your balance will work.
Pay off your balances and ask them.
Every needs utilities..call the company and work something out. yes, normally you have to pay off the balance or a minimum have a payment plan in place. When you have a bad rap w/the companies, they will usually require a deposit for new or re-established accounts.

Pay the balances and clear up your credit. The new utility company may or may not access your credit history, or you may be able to establish an account with the utility company by giving them a cash deposit.
You Could try paying them off or ask them about a pre-payment meeter to pay off any debts owed
In real life I don't believe companies will forgive you.. The bills need to be paid honey.I would talk to them, in person, and see what they can work out with you as in a repayment plan..
They'll accept a deposit and your willingness to pay the balances.
