Collection agency?


Question Posted Sunday October 11 2009, 11:45 pm



my boyfriend's mother and my boyfriend do not get a long and they do not talk or see each other...Recently my boyfriend had received a bill in the mail from Verizon stating that he owes them over 600 dollars. What happened was his mother had put HIS name on the Verizon bill without his permission...not only am I steaming through the roof over this mess but what could we do to prevent anymore problems. His credit is completely ruined by his mothers lies and we have sent a letter to verizon stating that he does NOT have an account with them. The problem is..How do we know she is not going to do this again

He was living with his mother about a year and a half ago and the collection agency had just caught up with him and he is just finding out about this now. Just thought I'd add it in there


thanks

Well, technically his mother has stolen his identity. It is wrong, and illegal to do something like that, especially to her own son. He can more than likely sue his mother alongside Verizon because without someone's permission, they cannot make that account. She has to give his SSN# to get that account, and any unauthorized use of the SSN# is illegal.

I suggest that he not only file for id theft but also that he call Verizon & straighten the whole thing out so that they bill his mother instead of him. He also needs to explain this to the credit people because if he doesn't, this will sit on his credit & ruin it. He can reverse that if he calls them & straightens it out.

He should call Verizon and get to the bottom of it. I don't think it works like that. Your bf would have to sign his own contract. Period.

Well you would sue Verizon wireless for one. they can't put anyone's name on the bill with out that persons permission. (sad im telling you to sue verizon when i work for them oh gosh) any ways. Then contact a lawyer and ask for advice on what you can do in the state you live in
