Bill Problems

Hey, hope this is the right part of the forum.

Basically I'm a 2nd year student, moved into a house etc. But I'm pretty concerned with one of the bills, not that I have to pay it that's cool. However my name is on one of the bills with one of my housemates. Now this doesn't sound too bad but she has masses of debt even from the University itself, so I have no doubt she is blacklisted or in the process of being.

Basically, I'm worried from a selfish point of view that I have a chance of having financial difficulties for myself in the future because of this.

I never remember giving the gas company in question my consent to put me on the bill so I'm more than mythed at that. The only thing I think is my landlord did it, which I'm sure is illegal? No.

Therefore I'm going to ring them up and get the name either into mine or into hers ASAP. Basically I want to know at the moment I'm not in any financial implications because I have a bill with her? Apart from paying it of course.

Any help is appreciated.
