<prompt> Human: Alright so I know it wasnt the best move on her part forgetting to close the account, but what is done is done. She left Baltimore about 3 years ago and did not close her Comcast account. Her ex was paying the bill where he lived up until May then Stopped paying. There is now a 500 past due bill in my girlfriends name. Any ideas for recourse on this?Apparently the ex owes about 10,000 to the landlord for past due rent, so the idea of getting money from the deposit is out.  <response>: The bill is in her name, and she never took it out of her name. She owes this money to Comcast. She could attempt to take the ex to small claims, on the basis that they had an agreement that he pay for the service and then did not do that, but thats a fair amount of hassle and not a guarantee.
