[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 576810, member: 1514"] Something like that happened to me. I went to settle some medical debts I owed from when I didnt have insurance and I finally got it backdated from 07 to 05. I started calling all the medical places that I owed money to and making arrangements to send them copies of my insurance card along with a copy of the paper from the insurance company stating that if they filed these old debts within 90 days the debts would be paid, however if they didnt, they would be required to write them off. Suddenly I got a phone call from a collection agency telling me I had a dept from 1989 for a doctor's office I had never heard of in a city I had only lived in for a year. They did give one of my correct addresses in that city but I still didnt remember that doctor's office and the address they gave was my final address which would have been the last one I had on my driver's license before I moved from there. I was only at that address for about 4 months and I dont remember getting sick while at that address. I asked them what kind of doctor it was and they couldnt tell me, just repeated the name of the doctor which was quite the common name. I pointed out one flaw in his attempting to collect the debt. Well two actually. I hadnt received any collection notices from them in well over 5 years and I had never made a payment much less a payment in the last 5 years and I certainly wasnt going to start now which would have started their time limit over again. They were out of luck. If it was even my debt it should have been written off as a bad debt long ago. So sorry. I never heard from them again and when I pulled my credit report it was not on there.
