I always thought I took care of everything, but today I received a letter from RJM Aquisitions asking me to settle a debt from 1997 for 60% of the original balance. It is for a DirecTV account. I know I had DirecTV at one time, but thought I had paid them when I left years ago. I live in California, what can I do before I call them?
I really don't feel I owe it, but after 10 years I don't think my I have any cancelled checks or billing slips from them. Can they be serious? I want to dispute it, but it's so old, even the IRS doesn't require you to keep tax returns that long.
