I have been getting bills mailed to my house for services I did not receive or even want. They were for calls to 900 numbers. The first time I received one of these letters, I did not pay attention to the addressee name and opened the letter. When I opened it I saw that it was for someone else. The weird thing is that the account number (which evidently is the same as the phone number) is the same phone number I had 6 years ago at a totally different address. The bills keep coming and I want them to stop. (I haven't opened any more and I keep sending them back to the company.)I did a reverse lookup on the phone number to see if the name matched the bill and nothing was found. I am afraid someone has my credit report information and used my old phone number and new address to run this bill up. If so, what will the do next? Am I entitled to a copy of my credit report if I think my information has been stolen?


Hi Nik

Welcome to the forums. You can check your credit report and see if nothing went wrong in your credit accounts. Also you can contact the company that is sending the letters to you and explain that they are trying to contact the wrong person.

If they still feel that they are in touch with the right person, they will have to provide the necessary reasons to contact you.

Send your letter through certified mail with return receipt requested. You will have a proof of your correspondence.

Thank you Roxette. Even the name they are billing just seems faked and is nothing like mine. Furthermore, I would never call one of these numbers and there is no one at my home to make the calls but me. The name they are billing isn't even a full name. It is "M. Demasters". Do you know if I get the free credit reports for this purpose (suspected fraud) if that will be my free ones for the year?
