10 years ago, I owed Fingerhut. I nvr did pay the ending balance. I ws young & naive. It WAS on my credit rprt, I saw it. Aftr 7 yrs past, whn I got a cpy of my credit rprt, it WAS GONE. I strtd rebuilding my credit & nw hv good credit. I hd moved since I owed them money. At my last address, I hd rec'd a catalog frm Fingerhut, syng I had bn pre-approved credit, to purchase smthng, but I ddnt do it. I jst moved again abt a mnth ago. And somehow, I got a letter frm a collections agency, syng I owed Fingerhut & the last pymnt date ws 10 years ago! It came straight to my NEW address. No forwarding. My newest add. was on it. I'm wndrng hw this is. 1) This was 10 YEARS ago! It had already fallen off of my credit. 2) Y would they have sent me smthng at my last address, saying I was approved credit, if it hdnt hv fallen off my credit (but it DID, cuz I saw my credit report) 3) Hw did they get my NEW address? Y r they dng this now? Can they put this BACK on my credit (frm 10 YEARS ago)?
