================================================================ = How to get a persons utilities cut off = ================================================================ Now the first thing that you need is the magic three elements, name, address, phone number. Then call up the utilities department and say something like this: OPERATOR: "This is (your city) utilities department, how may I help you?" YOU: "My mother/father/grandparent(s) recently died and I need their utilities cut off". OPERATOR: "Ok, what is her/his name?" YOU: "(name of person) at (address of person)." OPERATOR: "Where would you like to send the bill to?" YOU: "Send the bill to me at (make up a name and address)" OPERATOR: "Ok Mr. (whatever), the utilities at (the person(s) name) (address) will be shut off in (whatever time they tell you) and the bill will be sent to you at (the fake address you gave them)." That is all there is to it.
