help! Utilities and rented property!

Hi,

I lived at a rented property with my ex partner - both names on lease.

I moved out and paid half the rent and the bills were in 'the occupier' name.. The lease was another 4+ months but the utilities didn't get paid by the other party.

The bills have now turned up in my name only. I hold my hands up and say I was a party on the lease and will pay half despite not living there..
However, the other party isn't interested in paying anything.

Anybody else have any advice on thos? What do I do? The amount these bills come to could cripple me financially.

:-(
