We sent you an email. We'd like a bit more information from you.

First, it’s important to make sure the bill is NOT yours..... ?

I have a debt in collections for an energy bill. Someone has used my ssn to open the account. It dates back to 2012. What should I do?

That is a form of identity theft. If you currently have some kind of credit monitoring service that offers identity theft resolution, I would recommend you contact them for assistance. If you don't, you can still handle it yourself. The first step is to get a police report. I know that may sound extreme, but many lenders won't take you seriously unless you have one. Start there. In the meantime, send it with a letter via certified mail to the debt collector stating that you don't believe you owe this debt. Once you get the police report, you could forward that to them if they don't remove it from your credit reports. You may also need to dispute it with the credit reporting agencies.

It bothers me, that some medical professionals ask for my medicare card, when all thy should need is my supplement insurance card. Do I need to give them ( Dr or pharmacist) the medicare card?
