I actually live in california now, but the account was in Vermont. I got a letter in the mail out of the blue from Debt Recovery Solutions LLC claiming that I owed verizon 500 bucks from a phone number account in Vermont. I haven't lived in Vermont in 3 years. I called the debt collector to ask (apparently this was a mistake) what the hell it was and he told me it was from a house that I lived in, in 2002. Now, I have a Verizon cell phone, so its not like they couldn't find me, but why was the phone in vermont not turned off before the bill reached $500?. I called verizon to figure it out, and they said the info was no longer in the system and now Debt Recovery Solutions owned the account. Debt recovery could not tell me any information I wanted to know (how was the bill so high? Why did it take 5 years to catch up with me, etc, etc,) I found this forum by googling "Debt Recovery Solutions" and NOT finding a website for them, but read a bit about SOL and other various legal issues I/they may have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
