I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to lose track of an old bill or account, especially when moving, changing jobs, or dealing with several different companies at once. Sometimes an account can sit for quite a while before you realize there is still an outstanding balance.
For anyone who has dealt with an old account being sent to collections, what was the best way to figure out what the original charge was and make sure the information was accurate? I recently came across the name Midwest Credit Collections while looking into how collection accounts are handled, and it made me wonder how other people keep records of older bills and payments.
