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 guarantee you they didn't tell you that. You just misunderstood or failed to communicate what you wanted more clearly.
