My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Illinois/Indiana
I had a business that closed in October 2012. In January I moved into a new apartment. Within 3 days of moving in, I received a letter from a debt collector representing Gordon Food Service for a past due invoice. It was sent to my new address. How did they know my new address? I had not changed my drivers license, my firearm ID, or even forwarded my mail yet. This made me extremely paranoid.
I received a letter two days ago from the same debt collector. One sentence in that letter really bothered me.
"You are most fortunate to have qualified for the ****** ***** Apartments; however, you still need to take responsibility for other obligations that you personally guaranteed." (I omitted the apartment name for privacy)
Ok, Now how do they know the name of the apartments? They just opened two months ago. They are not listed in any directories yet and are not even on a map. The credit check that the apartments ran was run under the leasing company name which is entirely different.
I am completely baffled by the whole thing and worried.
Have they talked to my apartment manager? Can they get me evicted? I don't want to go as far as saying someone is watching and following me, but that's how I feel.
