I received a third-party collection notice regarding a past-due AT&T bill several years ago. The bill in question was over $200 from an AT&T account I closed several years prior.
I had never received a past-due bill directly from AT&T, or any outstanding balance notice due on that account from AT&T. I called the number on the colection notice to question the bill.
The representative explained my bill had been "split" and that's why I still owed.in good faith I did not challenge the past-due bill and offered to send the payment in the enclosed envelope.
The representative asked if I had the address to mail the check. I said yes and read the address on the envelope enclosed in the collection notice. He said that address was incorrect and offered to transact my payment via credit card.
I paid with a credit card during the call.
Now, three years later, I received another third-party past-due AT&T collection bill for the same account for over $100 from Asset Acceptance/RMCB.
