So I get this letter, at my parents house no less?, saying I owe the Collection Company for the City of San Diego, with no indication what this is for.
I call the people and they say it is for a $36 parking ticket that I got in July of 98.
I told them I paid it back then, they say the do not have records of it and that I now owe them $144.97 in interest and the new letter is postmarked April 20, 2004?
They say they sent 3 letters to me in '98, I have no recollection of this, but I remember taking care of this.
I have since lived in San Diego, bought a home in San Diego, started a business in San Diego, and recently moved out of the state as of March of this year, and bought another home in Texas.
This has never appeared on my credit report.
They say it's not unusual that they havn't notified me about this in 6 years and that if I can provide proof that I paid them then it's no problem. How am I supposed to get proof of paying them something from 6 years ago? I don't remember how I would have paid them, and going back and buying the bank statements would cost me $5 per month of statements.
Suggestions? Options?
Thanks.
