Best Answer

If your utility deposit is with a supplier or a landlord you should have something in writing in your service/rental agreement covering their refund policies. Should you leave a residence owing a utility bill which you never paid, the deposit most likely went toward covering the unpaid balance, as that is its actual purpose.

Is Utility deposit considered accounts payable?

No, generally a utility deposit is not a payable. On the rare chance that the company allows you to "make payments" on the deposit, until it is paid, the it would be a payable, however, that generally is not the case. A utility deposit is generally required as a "security" deposit to the company providing the service and as a rule must be paid in advance before said service can be activated. Most companies after a prescribed amount of time will and certain requirements are met (no late payments, no disconnection, etc) will refund the deposit to the person/company. If this is the case, then a utility deposit that may be refunded after a certain period of time is actually considered an asset.

There isn't much of a difference between a prepaid expense and a deposit. Both terms are monies that are paid in advance to pay for something. With a prepaid expense, the money pays usually for a bill or utility. A deposit on the other hand, is sometimes given back after the obligation is paid. If it is not paid, the deposit is kept as payment.

Can a discharged utility debt become a collection after bankruptcy?

A utility company may not collect any debt that was discharged in a Chapter 7/13 bankruptcy. The discharge injunction, in most cases, prevents a creditor (including a utility company) from collecting a debt that was discharged. However, the utility company can, and often does, require a security deposit before resuming utility services.
