Phone number? Really?!
Get this…I get a call today. Was not sure who it was, so I did not get it. Beep – they left a voicemail. Something along these lines:
Hello, this is your electric company calling. We are showing that you have 3 month of outstanding electric bills. Please make sure to call us or send in your payment immediately. If the payment is not received, your service will be suspended.
Now I am freaking out. Where have my payments been going? Who has been receiving them? If it was not the electric company, then who? I get right back on the phone and call them. I am on hold for close to 20 minutes. Finally, I get someone.
Long story short, this particular company tracks customer accounts by their phone number. So, some dumb ass that had my phone number 3 years ago decided not to pay their electric bill for 3 months. I get the call, I freak out, I wasted time…this is crap!

Hey, my name is Dave and I had a similar thing happen to me a few years back. I was renting a place from this guy in LA. Lived there for about 10 months, all of a sudden I started getting these phone calls and messages on my cell that my cable is going to be shut off. Then, my cable did get shut off. So, I started freaking out and called right away. Apparently, the guy I was renting from gave them my cell as a contact number. Does that make sense?
