The Debtor filed a pro se motion, which the Court interpreted as seeking an order directing the refund of the Debtor’s pre-petition deposit paid to a utility company to be used as a post-petition deposit to avoid disruption of service. The utility company had offset the refund from the amount owed to the company pre-petition. The Court denied the motion with respect to compelling the company to transfer the deposit, finding that the Debtor provided no legal basis for such a request. However, the Court scheduled a hearing regarding the request to enjoin the company from requiring a post-petition deposit or disconnecting service and ordered that the company was enjoined from requiring any deposit or disconnecting the Debtor’s electrical service until the hearing and further order of the Court.
