Just recently I received a letter in the mail from a collection agency in re Direct tv (of which I have been a customer for 15 years in great standing). I called immediately to let them know I have no $650 bill with Direct tv whatsoever and never ever owed them anything other than the monthly bill which I always pay early and in full. I have excellent credit ratings with all three bureaus. Turns out it was for a party in OK with my same name, but different social security number and birth date. Now today I get a call from a collection agency for a medical bill from a medical facility in OK - and again - the same scenario - same name but her date of birth is not same as mine and again - the same last 4 digits of her social that does not match mine either.
Both collection agencies realize I am not the party they are looking for and will "take my telephone number" out of their systems . I have nothing on any of my credit reports that is suspect, so I don't really know what to do at this point about this situation.
Any advice would be most appreciated as the party with "my name" is obviously deep in debt and in collection and I'm not so sure I won't be getting more calls regarding her accounts.
