My wife recently had a collections agency contact her about an amount that she supposedly owed to a university in Texas, which she atttended in 1988. To her knowledge, she was never contacted previous to this by the university or anyone else about the matter. She asked the collection agency to send her more information as to why she owed them around $250. They finally sent something saying that it was an overdue library book, but did not say what book it was and my wife says that she does not remember ever checking a book out at the library. The collection agency says that we must pay them or they will put it on her credit report and that it is her responsibility to prove that she did not owe that amount. Is that correct? Are we just stuck here and have to pay the $250 or have it on our credit report?
