West Bay Acquisitions Why wait three years to send me a collection notice? Cranston, Rhode Island
Back in 2009 I remember renting movies from Hollywood Video. I also remember always going in and paying off the charges that I owned when I went in to rent more. I'd never leave an account open like this. What I have a problem with is this. IF this is true that I owe $23.95, why would Hollywood video or any company wait three years to send me a collection notice? If you want people to pay, send out a notice sooner. This is getting very close to the statue of limitations in California, which is 4 years. It has been almost 3 years now. This company did not provide me any proof whatsoever. No reciept of when I brought the DVD's back, no signature of anyone. Nothing. This letter says that I owe this money from 3/20/2009 for Pathology and 4/21/2009 for NEO NED (which I don't remember renting at all) and on 5/28/2009 for Doubt. Interestingly enough, they took extra care to NOT say what I owe for EACH DVD and how long each ONE was late (one day or one week). If this company wants me to believe them, they need to do more than just send in a collection notice and give me something with a date and time that I returned such items and a signature. Case closed.
