c/a trying to collect an old debt that isn't even mine
About 4years ago a collection agency called me about a zellers card that was given to me in 1997 with a 500 limit.he told me that this card now had a balance of $1600.I never had this card and told him so when he called.I asked him to send any proof of me signing for this card or for any of the purchases and I would prove it was not mine.I never heard from him again and today I got a call from another collection agency wanting to settle for $500 on this card.I explained it wasn't mine and told him I even have a zellers card(HBC now) that is in good order and I thought this was cleared up years ago.The call didn't end well and he threatened me with a law suit.I live in Mississauga Ontario and am currently on disability and am trying to get back to work and really didn't need this.I have a good Visa and HBC card and I don't think I would have got these if I had an outstanding bill especially with zellers.any advice would be great.thanks...
