Ugh......that's too bad.
So then you can either stop the check (not sure about e-checks so you should call your bank) OR let it go through and then try disputing the account and hope they don't verify it.
If you are able to stop the check, then send the electric co a debt verification letter asking for an itemized bill. Then once you receive that send them a PFD letter (one that they would have to sign and return). Unfortunately restrictive endorsements do not hold up in Indiana but if you can get an agreement in writing, that would be just as good since it would be considered a binding contract.
Good luck......come back and keep us posted.
