What was your tax question again? Seriously, call a credit
attorney or something.

Do you have a tax question? If not, try posting this in
misc.legal.moderated where lawyers hang out.

Your question has nothing to do with taxes. Why did you
post it here? If you were looking at a copy of your credit
report, then you should have been given instructions for
challenging incorrect data on the report. Follow those
instructions. And post anything further about this to
misc.consumers or some other more appropriate newsgroup.

The first thing I'd do is to call them back and see if they
will fix it. That may or may not work. If it doesn't,
contact your state's public utilities commission and ask
them for help. That should get action.

Please try misc.LEGAL.moderated, rather than
misc.TAXES.moderated.

I had a land line from AT & T back in 2001.In october 2001,
I receieved an absurd bill from AT & T to pay over $4000 for
one month. I know it was a mistake from AT & T and I called
their service center to get this issues resolved. The
service rep told me that somebody would call me up to get
this issue resolved. I did not get any call or any bill from
At & T after that. My ATT phone service was cancelled and
than I moved to a new address. Today, when I was looking at
my credit history I found out that AT & T transfered my
account with a balance of above $4000 in april this year
2004 to a collections agency.

Please tell me what to do ? What do I do to take them to the
court ? I dont have anything in black n white.
