It is possible to include utilities in a bankruptcy, but they will then want a security deposit to re-connect you. Generally once you go bankrupt you have no credit cards or other debts to pay, so the money you were spending on those debts can go towards catching up on utilities. The rules vary in each province, so I suggest you contact a licensed trustee for more information.
