Hello, Our local gas company here in IL is Nicor Gas. When I bought my house in July 2001, Nicor sent us a bill for $500+ dollars from a previous address I hadn't lived at for 4 years. The name on the bill at the previous address isn't even my name. Nicor asked for a final bill from the old address and a bill from the other places I've lived since then to prove I wasn't living there when those charges were incurred. Their (Nicor's) records only go back 2-3 years and the same goes for the other utilities. They are threatening to report me to a collection agency and mess up my credit report. All I have is a copy of my old lease from my landlord. I can prove where I have lived since with old bills but they claim that isn't good enough because some people have mutiple residences.
Please help before my credit is effected.
Thanks,
Jennifer
