Default Unpaid utility bill

What would be the consequence of an unpaid utility bill on a previous j1 visa when you re enter on the vwp?
Just hypothetical, maybe not even 50 bucks.

Personally I've never bothered paying my hypothetical bills.

On the assumption that you're not joking, there would be no consequences. If it was me though, I'd avoid using that specific utility company again.

So you're coming over for a holiday and you're worried about an upaid utility bil from a previous stay? The only repurcussions you'd need to be concerned about are the effects on a credit history report. You won't get sent to jail for an unpaid bill.

and you won't be approved for utilities with a new utility company if you once again plan on residing in the US.

More likely he'd have to pay a hefty security deposit.

You're funny Rete.

So, in a nutshell, you're saying that millions of people in America who have unpaid utility bills are living without electricity, gas or water?

No, what I said is that a new utility company will not touch him and Abodepion is correct; they will want a hefty security deposit which they will keep for a year.

The OP does not live in the US NOW but when he did, he failed to pay the last utility bill. You are funny, my friend. Stop inhaling the fumes of your wife's oil paints.
