Universal Fidelity Corporation Southwestern Bell Ripoff fraudulent billing Houston Texas

I received a letter from Portfolio Recovery Associates stating I owed $381.17 in a seriously past due Southwestern Bell bill I had never paid.

I have never had a phone in my name ever in my life, so a read flag immediately went up. I contacted the said agency, and they said they would research the issue. I never received a call back from them and it has been since January.

Where it should have shown the supposed "phone number" that I never paid the bill on, it showed all zeros and a "we're still searching" note.

We also received a letter from their in-house attorney John Lee Jackson saying we need to pay the bill, but he would not sue us since he does not have the legal authority to sue (but he is a lawyer? - interesting)
