I recently moved and was trying to open a new utilities account. At that time they advised me I had a defaulted bill and that I would have to pay hundreds of dollars to open an account because of this. Of course, I was extremely shocked and upset to find out that there is a debit on my record from XXXX ; an old account that I had closed YEARS ago! I was not aware that my old XXXX XXXX account had gone into collections. I had paid the account in full, after cancelling it and moving. Now years after the fact, I find out that the old account is in collections. For monies I DO NOT owe them! After all these years, they never tried to contact me whatsoever!
