Just received a notice from Credit Collection Services about an AT&T bill that is supposedly past due and in collections. This bill was not only addressed to my maiden name, my first name was just an initial and my middle name was used.
Considering I haven't used my maiden name in over 11 years and have never used my middle name, it's obviously a fraud. Just because it looks real, doesn't mean it is. Check your credit report to see if it's on it. Go directly to the credit companies, don't use CCCs link.
Even if somehow this was a real debt, there is a statute of limitations that has long passed. That statute is somewhere between 7 and 10 years.
Do not pay these crooks! Don't even call them and give them your info. They will use it against you.
If they do call you, tell them not to call you again. It's illegal to harrass you. Keep a note on each time they call and who you told not to call. Eventually, you can sue them for the harrassment.
Good luck!
