 When you get the utility, you are generally asked for your social security number, that's what your identifier.  If you pay late, then The big 3 credit reporting agencies will know about it.
You can check with Equifax, TRW, and the third one which I am drawing a blank on to get your credit report - and check it yearly for any descrepencies as well.
