Hello, I am new to this forum and was hoping to get some advice from you kind people. About 6 years ago I was naive enough to let my then-boyfriend get a telephone account in my name, which of course got run up and eventually disconnected. He told me that after so many years the phone company erases their records, so I just let it go. Well, now I'm a bit more grown up and knowing that this is catching up with me. I recently applied for a credit card and was denied. Subsequently, I get contacted by Asset Acceptance, who apparently has my account now for the phone bill.
