I don't even know where to begin, so I'll make it as short and sweet, as possible.
A collection agency has purchased an old debt of mine (voluntary repossession of a vehicle). This was in early 2007. I was contacted off and on about this (rarely) until the end of last year (I always ignored them, when they contacted me, because I don't ow this new company anything as far as I'm concerned), when they came at me full force, including a court summons. I went to court and it was the strangest thing ever.
