My girlfriend and I are both 25, we have been dating a year and a half and lived together for 7 months now. The way we worked it out was I will pay her and my car as well as we go half on apartment rent while she pays the Internet, electric, water, her insurance and her credit card . The thing is 3 times now she has told me even months after the fact that cert bills haven't been paid. The last time it happened was this week.
I have told her if she needs help with bills to let me know and when I ask her why she didn't tell me she doesn't tell me why. Our electric has been turned off twice now. We make roughly the same but she will just casually bring up some of the bills are overdue.
You can't make her become better organized and responsible; you can only control you.
You might just add up the internet, water, and electric bills and tell her she needs to pay you X per month. Then pay those bills yourself. That way you know they are paid. Specify the date by which she is to pay you.
Don't take over her insurance or credit card. If she forgets to pay those, it is her problem.
It sounds like she's been spending her money on other stuff. I agree with the previous person who said that you should tell her to give you a certain account of money each month and you pay them instead of relying on her since she's a total flake.
And also reevaluate whether you want to live with someone so irresponsible that they would allow builds to become overdue. I've never had any of my services shut off due to nonpayment. Ever. I can't imagine what kind of irresponsible flake would allow that to happen.

She's not a total flake, she has the OP making her car payment, and making it on time. He is very foolish to be doing that. Who does that?
I bet the electric is also in his name. So why should she care, it's his credit rating.
Rent/utilities should be split 50/50, and credit cards and car notes paid by the individual.
Is this masquerading as another 'women's' bashing thread?
