All of a sudden I've been getting calls from some collection agency for someone I haven't spoken with nor seen in over 10 years. I don't acknowledge that I ever knew her, I just say that nobody by that name is at this number. I asked that they look at her file and see if my number is listed to verify that they didn't misdial. It's there.
Denise, my ex friend, must have listed me as a reference. However, how long ago and for whom?
This could be one of those agencies that likes to buy up old or dead collections and try and squeeze money out of people even though it is past the statute of limitations.
I'm hesitant to let them know that I knew her at one time. Should I keep quiet about that?
