UTILITY CO. WROTE OFF OLD DEBT-NOW TRYING TO COLLECT ON NEW ACCOUNT UNDER SPOUSE'S NAME

According to SEMCO ENERGY, I owe app. $50.00 from an old rental. I was not aware of this until, I recently married and it appeared on the new bill which is in my spouse's name. The last bill stated the amount had been written off. I cannot recall the date I moved out, as it was over 5 yrs ago, but another person stayed in the apt. My rent and any other outstanding bills were paid at the time I left, but I cannot recall the arrangement with Semco. There are other factors, but do I have to pay, when there's a good chance I had moved out at the last billing, and I believe the rental place kept my deposit.
