Collection Agency Demands $5000 for Phone Bill Paid and Closed in 2004

Another case of verizon using creditors to demand payment for mystery phone bill with some real phone charge gouging.

VERIZON HAS SENT ME A PHONE BILL via a new Collection Agency Palisades Collection Agency # account number 11597844 that I owe $5000 for a back phone bill for when I lived in Maryland. I moved from this state and paid my last bill in 2004. I paid the amount as agreed upon and my account was closed and my credit reflected the change. Now five years later I am told that I owe $ 5000 this is not right and I have sent another letter telling the creditors this is not my bill and it must be identity fraud because I have not lived in Maryland since 2002.

Secondly, I paid my last bill and the account was closed.
I have sent letters and called Verizon to discuss this matter with no success. Verizon has adopted this practice of inventing mystery phone accounts and charging outrageous sums of money because I am not the only one to file a complaint about VERIZON'S unethical practices.
