My gas and electric are going to be shut off because my roommate is moving out. Is there any help I can get with getting it in my name even though I owe past bills?

Maybe, if you qualify for pipp or pipp plus and you have to have an account number already set up. If you have time to stop by there office and ask the front desk what you need to get them in your name and help with the bills. They will tell you everything you need to do it and probably make your appointment

It has to be in your name
