<prompt> Human: Title says it all. Im in South Carolina. Currently a college student supporting myself after my parents cut me off in the spring. Renting a house with two others, but they left over the summer with their names still on the lease and nobody to cosign. I just received a 550 electric gas bill for the past two months, and my roommates have not paid a cent toward utilities since May so Ive eaten the bills. I cannot possibly afford the 550 bill.What are my options? I dont want to take them to court over it, but if thats the only way to get reimbursed then I dont have a choice.  <response>: If they refuse to pay small claims court would be where you have to do.
