yet there were demands I sign things, start paying, admit to child support (children did live there in the city where I was)-- EVEN THOUGH I HAD NEITHER BEEN IN, NOR EVER EVEN SEEN THAT CITY...at the time the children had been born there.
It took several irate screaming phone calls and nasty letters from me to get them to back off.
A number of years ago my husband and I got papers in the mail stating that we had defaulted on a car loan. It turned out that there was another couple in town who shared our names (They were Edward and Diana, we are Edwin and Dianna, same last name). It was fairly easy to clear up and didn't bother me much.
But only because I was certain it WOULD be cleared up before it caused me any personal grief. You can't make that assumption here. What a nightmare.
