Shared Electricity Bill

You share a flat with two other students, and the electricity account is in your name. The latest bill is due on Friday, but one flatmate has not paid their share for the last two bills, and you cannot cover it alone. Speak to your flatmate: explain the problem politely, and ask them to pay before the due date.

Hey, have you got a minute? I wanted to chat about the electricity bill. The new one is due on Friday, but your share from the last two bills is still outstanding, and since the account is in my name, I'll be charged a late fee. I know things have been busy, and I'm not having a go at you, but I can't cover it by myself. Could you transfer your part before Friday? If that's difficult, maybe we could set up a bill-splitting app so it's easier for everyone. Thanks, I appreciate it.
