Complaint Review: ACA Receivables

ACA is currently coming after me for a phone bill I supposedly didn't pay 10 years ago. They claim that they just now located me, and of course, now expect me to pay close to 400% of the original debt in late charges and interest. Pretty funny that they "couldn't find" me, although I lived within 30 miles of their office for seven years following the date of the disputed bill. But, of course, after I'd been living halfway across the country for three years it was no problem...What a farce!!
I've asked repeatedly for a copy of the original bill from Pac Bell, but no dice. Instead, they sent me a letter (on their letterhead) which claims to justify their charges. Never mind that the seven year period has long since expired.
Now that I've read about the tactics they've employed with other people and their constant name changes, etc, I don't trust their word at all!
