Hello,
In 1998 I had a telephone line with verizon. Due to neglect I never paid the bill.
It was on my credit report and eventually came off.
Now in 2007 after finally having decent credit and no infractions, I received a letter from a creditor Afni asking that I pay $1,700.00, they further asked me to reply within 30 days or they will assume that I am liable for the debt.
I have been researching this subject and haven't come up with the exact answers.
My question is: Am I at all still liable to this debt. I have no clue if I actually owe $1700.00 in fact I think it is impossible to owe so much for a land line that I rarely used.
Is there in fact a statute of limitations? Should I just ignore it or should I write a cease and desist letter.
Please help
