I had an ISP do the same when I moved out of an apartment in 2016. I still get calls from a collection agency. The number is blocked but if I check my “blocked calls” log it’s been nearly every weekday for 8 years.
Mine WAS hurting, then I filed fraud charges with the bureaus and copied the email that showed Comcast saying I didn’t owe them anything
Now it’s only experian that keeps getting them about every 6 months, after 4 reports they started vanishing off my report within a week automatically lol
Absolutely insane that companies can just say that you owe them money without ever actually contacting you, sell your “debt” to someone, and have that hurt your credit for 7 years

Your credit must be completely fucked

Maybe we can do that to them…
On the bright side two more years and it falls off their report anyway. It would be a mistake to pay it at this point.
Lol I guess so
I pull my credit report yearly. The ISP was never on it. Even if it was, after 7 years accounts are removed from your report.
Nice
Considering the debt is over 7 years old, it certainly shouldn’t be.
