I have received a Debt Collection Notice from a company in Texas DBA "Business Office Systems & Solutions".
It is for a small amount of $79.90.
The notice looks official.
However, the creditor, "VIATEL" -
is one I have NEVER done business with, ever! The Viatel site explains...
"Viatel provides Business Communications services to
companies of all sizes across Europe. Viatel helps businesses of all sizes across Europe to access the internet..."
I am a person on medical disabilty for many years and have no need for such services in the USA! I have Never had contact with this company from Europe!
Another reason I think this is a scam is the information this company ask for in the paperwork.
They asked for 1."Complete section if you carry any insurance"
A.in that section request for my social security
number, Group policy numbers, employer info, certification authorization no. If required.
This seems like Identity Theft to me! It's sad, but by the official look of this DEMAND - I'm sure there could be many many people sending $79 checks out without questioning or realizing they may not owe this debt.
I will be contacting VIATEL - for their benefit and mine.
Its sure that any good company would want to know their name is being Misused in this manner!
