Problem with electric

[Joe Swanson]

Hi BP.

I just closed on my first investment property Monday in Indianapolis. I'm having trouble getting the electric turned over and connected in my name. IPL (Indy Power & Light) is telling me that I need to go there in person, with the HUD to to prove that I own the place, there only other suggestion was getting someone a POA to do it for me. I'm in Texas and this is not possible for me to do. What can I do in order to get/keep the power turned on? I have a contractor starting there tomorrow, I'm guessing he'll need electricity.

Any help?

thanks,

Joe
