2. I'm still going through this shit.

I don't know what happened when I lived in MN (15 years ago) but in the last 4 years, claims of my owing monies to various utilities and merchants (which I never even did business with) are bubbling up. I get it resolved with one outfit and they sell it off to another outfit and I have to go through all this shit all over again.

Fortunately for me, I contacted both Colorado's AG and MN's AG. I know now, these slime balls can't really do anything but harass those who are unfamiliar with the law. I know to demand 'original proof of debt' right off the bat. I know this is no proof ( and so do they) and I never hear from them again.........I hear from some other fly-by-night shyster outfit. And after having contacted the 'original' debt holder to make inquires of the charges.........they've never heard of the collection company and can't show that I owe them a penny or that I even had an account with them! So the collection company's claim that they are representing company X (the original debt holder) they are really representing company Z (the schmucks who bought the bogus debt last from the last unscrupulous collection outfit)

These bastards need to driven out of business!!!!!!!
