Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey
I was sent a letter from a collection agency about a bill from a company that I used to do business with. They claim that I owe them $3000.00 for work they say was done and not paid for. They went out of business prior to this and I was paid up for wnatever work they did. There is no record of me receiving this work via UPS and this work was never signed for. Should I even accknowledge this and tell them to stop sending me letters until they have some concrete proof or should I just ignore this nonsense?

Write to them and say that you dispute the debt. Ask for verification. Do not make any payments or any promise to pay anything. Such payments or promises have the effect of extanding the statute of limitations which is probably either four or six years.
