Complaint / Review
Colombia House
Ripoff sent me to NATIOWIDE COLLECTIONS in FL items never ordered under my name at wrong address

I Received a NATIONWIDE COLLECTIONS notice who owns a debt of $53.10 originally from COLUMBIA HOUSE.
It was forwarded to me by a friend because I am in FRANCE for a while.

Of course, I freaked out and called the agency, told them I never ordered any merchandises from Columbia House EVER.

I asked a few questions and learned the account had been closed in Oct for non-payment and to my surprise, it was for DVD's received or sent to a FRIEND's address.

I was able to call C H after trying all the # I could find on the net (some work at one point, you have to keep trying), rep told me that they would notify N C inc to remove my name from its files and disregard futur requests for payment and I even got an E-Mail from C H Customer Service confirming. Their e-mail contains my original C H Account# but N C inc is referred as Collection Agency, my name is not included either.

NEED YOUR ADVICE: Should I still dispute debt with Nationwide Collections and ask for verification?

Is Columbia House E-Mail valid proof? Should I FAX it to Nationwide Collections or just forget the all thing?

Thank you and good luck to all.
