Question about bill collection
Received an interesting letter in the mail recently.
I moved to Arizona in Feb 2002 from the Dallas Texas area. Sold the house there two weeks afterwards and paid all the utility bills when the house closed. They have my address out here on file, and have had it since March 2002.
Now I get a letter from a legal firm in the Dallas area where I lived saying that I owe $77.62 in back utilities to the town I lived in! Not the utility company but the town.
Trying to find utility bills from 7 years ago will be fun, so they are assuming that people will just pay the bill rather than dig through their files. I do not owe the money, the utilities were paid when the house sold.
Anyone ever have this happen or any insight on this situation?
Thx,
Joe A
