Re: debt collector calls - debt is 10 years old - WTF?
The question is whether it's worth 27 bucks to get them to leave you alone. A $27 dollar unpaid debt is hardly going to destroy your credit rating, and there is no way they're going to sue you for $27. Most likely the collection agency bought the debt from the power company for pennies on the dollar. If you don't want to pay it, write the collection agency a letter telling them the debt is bogus and threaten to file a fraud complaint against them. They'll back off right away.
