My household has received a collection notice?
A collection notice has been sent to our home under a name that both my brother and father share. The client is from Movie Gallery, a now defunct video rental establishment. The amount is for 88.00 dollars. I dont recall my brother ever renting a movie or game from that place, even back when it went went under a different name of Video City. I myself have paid late fees but under my account.
As for my father, I have no knowledge of him ever going into that place to make a rental. He moved out of town back in 1997. I have no communication with him (we are not on speaking terms), so i cant ask about any late fees if he's ever rented their before. This sickens me, because my brother has never made a rental, he has no credit anyways, and why if any of us had a late fee, didnt movie gallery/video city ever gave us any kind of notification before?
I contacted the collection agency and gave them a valid number to reach my father. Again i received a letter from an the collection agency. I do not have an address for him however. Should I dispute this claim with them, seeking proof of what is actually being owed and why? Its been more than six years since i myself made a movie rental and by my account name, not the names of either my father or brother on the collection claim.
@ Kathi , They already have called my household before, so of coarse they will call, they just assume this my father lives here (which he never had). I told them to never call here again, and they've stopped.

This has nothing to do with you so you don't need to do anything other than write "addressee unknown " on any mail you receive. The problem is you contacted the collection agency so now they have your phone # to contact about the account so they will keep calling you forever.

If the collection notice is not for anyone at your address, just ell them the person they want doesn't live there, if they call again tell them to pack sand up their butt but not as nicely. If they still call sue them for harrassment.
