Question: Can bad credit keep you from getting electricity service to your home in Texas?My friend either owes money to another electric company or just has terrible credit (he won't really clarify which it is), and he is having a hard time finding an electricity provider for his new home that he is renting. Additional DetailsOK, he finally provided more details. His current wife's ex-husband has a bill that is showing on her credit report. Sounds like he has to pay it or dispute it. He was finally able to get a different company to turn on his service.
Answer: -I owe money to another company and I still was able to get my electric turned on. I just went to another company -He might need a co signer-Bad credit can prevent you from having a bank account as well. -Most definitely. He'll either have to fork over a hefty deposit which he'll probably have to fight to get back and/or provide a co-signor.The best thing for him to do is to pay the outstanding amount with the other company to show that he isn't a deadbeat.An alternative is to have someone else living in the house (if possible) apply for the account. Not exactly honest but electricity is a basic need.
