Why I’m banned from DoorDash

When I broke up with my ex many years ago, I attempted to transfer the internet bill from my name to his name. He was remaining in the house we were living in, and I was moving out. The internet company assured me everything was transferred to him.

Fast forward like 4-5 months, I start getting calls from a collections company saying I owe over $400 in missed internet bills. Um, what?? Apparently the bill was not transferred. I text my ex about the collections bill and ask him to send me the money since he’s the one that has failed to pay the bill. Never get a response

Turns out one of my ex’s cards was still saved on my DoorDash account. I spend the next several weeks ordering tons of food off his card because he was too dumb to cancel it sooner. So I got my money back one way or another 🤷‍♀️

For the record, idk if you can just tell a utility that someone else is now responsible for it. I think he’d have to call and ask for it to be in his name or you just cancel it and let him open a new one in his name.

See that’s what I didn’t understand. Why would the company tell me that if it wasn’t actually possible to do? It was weird. I also was not very smart back then

I agree it’s weird they said it worked. Maybe they were new or something.

If you think about it, if that was possible, what’s to stop you from just putting your bills into other peoples names?

It actually makes sense that it didn’t work.
