Let me throw this out for y'all and see what y'all have to say.

In the past, I worked as a computer consultant. One of the things I did was install Asterisk servers for some local companies. One of those companies has since gone out of business and owes AT&T money. AT&T is now coming after me for the bill the former company owes, thinking that somehow I am responsible for this money. The collection agency somehow obtained my social security number in spite of my never providing it to the defunct company, nor AT&T in relation to the work I did for this defunct company. The only way I can guess my social security number was obtained was by AT&T itself, as I am a Bellsouth residential customer of theirs.

The information the collection agency has for me is almost totally incorrect, yet they will not listen to reason (why should they?), nor will AT&T admit that I am not connected to this bill.

I'd rather not take this to court, but I'm sure not going to pay a bill I don't owe. I WILL file a complaint against AT&T with the N.C. Public Staff, but outside of that does anyone have any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks!
Mark
