I got a call from a collection agency about 30 minutes ago and they wanted payment for an electric bill for a company out of Oregon. They said I owe about $900 and that the bill has been due since last July.
Problem is, I live 1500 miles away, never even been to Oregon, never even known anyone from Oregon. I understand maybe people have the same name as I do. I don't have a common first name but a very common last name. When I tried to explain this to the person on the phone, they said I could either pay them immediately or they would come tow my car.
At this point I was shaking as my car is how I get to work, school, and everywhere else. Then they told me I owed the money and to "do the right thing" and pay immediately if I didn't want to be left without a way to get around.
I hung up and started crying, they can't actually tow my car can they?
