<prompt> Human: I moved out of it in apartment 6 months ago into a house. I turned off and disconnected all of the utilities except for my gas. The new tenant had moved in and have been using it ever since, of course not mentioning anything to anyone about it.The gas company never notified me that my bill was 6 months overdue, until they turn the gas off earlier this month, whereupon the new tenant just turned it back on and his name leaving me with the bill for his gas usage over the past 6 months. The company says I am financially responsible which, I admit, I am. Its just a shitty situation. I kind of wish the gas company would have actually made some effort to notify me about this bill going on paid for half a year. What is the likelihood of the gas company sending this bill to a collection agency? I kind of just dont want to pay it.  <response>: Very likely. Consider it a sure thing.
