"zombie" debt collection on the rise

That is a good article. I had read it quite a while ago and ended up sending it to someone who had a collector contact them about a bill that was over 10 years old, one he had thought he had paid, and he ended up agreeing to pay and then could have kicked himself in the pants after reading this because now it shows back up on his credit report as a collection account.

Everyone should read this. It is an eye-opener. Probably many aren't aware of all of this & end up paying (& paying).

IT IS A VERY NICE ARTICLE FROM MSN
MONEY ABOUT "ZOMBIE DEBIT IS HARD
