I received a letter in the mail requesting that I call immediately because I have a dishonnered check from 1999.
I went through a divorce in 1999 and paid any all checks during the time of my divorce. I called the number on the letter which does not indicate or have any referrence number or any check information. The person I spoke with only said don't you know the bank you use? I then asked for copies of the check and any information to be faxed or mailed to me and of course he said he can't give that to me. He said that if I don't pay immediately that I will be served to go to court, I asked him what court? I haven't lived in the state this "offense" took place since 1999!
He said it would cost me up to a $1,000 in court if I appear. I said if I appear at least I can see what I am paying for and make arrangements. I said I would call back after I investigate this matter and he said ok and asked me for my phone number only gave him my cell phone. I really don't expect him to call but If I owe money I am not going to send it "Western Union" to him as he requested.
Bottom line is don't send money until you investigate, even if you find you owe the money the company that is legitimate will have all of the proper information to collect!
