Oh, brother, I am having a heck of a time with these jerks at the collection agency.
I moved out of my apartment in June 04. I didn't call the power company to put the bills back in the apartment's name. I didn't know at the time that it was necessary. I was told by the collection agency that I owed the power bills for July, Aug, and Sept, and possibly Oct, they couldn't tell. They said I could have the apartment complex fax a copy of my old lease to them, and that would probably be a sufficient dispute. I called the apartment, they said they'd take care of it, but they never did. That was early July 06 when I first got the call from the collection agency about this charge that's 2 years old!
Today the agency called back and said that they never received the lease fax, and that my 30 day dispute period is up, and I now owe the money (140 bucks). Even if I proved I moved out, who is legally responsible to pay the bills? The apt would have kept the power on if it was vacant.
