I had called and had the utilities transferred to his name, he made the payments on the account for the rest of the lease.
Hindsight 20/20 - agreed, he should have opened a new account

Fair point but if they are my responsibility then the tenants would be liable for theft, no?
Wrongfully took, did not belong to them, did not have consent, deprived owner

Should have included this - I had transferred the account to my roommate as I was going abroad for awhile, left it to him to close the account.. not ideal.

Not sure, only reasonable explanation I can think of is my SSN still being attached to the account in some way
