Complaint Review: Merchant Credit Guide

I recently recieved a notice from the Merchants Credit Guide Co. saying that I owe 69.08 on an account 9 years old supposedly leftover from "Sprint Communications Com."

They gave me the address of where I was living at the time, my address now, and the last 4 digits of my social security number. I was curious because I was with Sprint (as a phone service if it indeed is the same company) on and off for the last 5-7 years and this is the first I've heard of anything like this. . . 9 years later. Seems fishy.

I called sprint and they can't help me while the Merchants Co. seems just to tell me that I owe the money. I've looked them up online and it seems like they do this to many many people. I'm sure I do not owe this money, what can I do?

Thanks. . .
