I was in the midst of a divorce and living with a gentleman in Oregon around XXXX. When I left, in XXXX, there was a debt to the XXXX where we lived, but the man with whom I had been living had made arrangements with the XXXX XXXX to remove my name from the account as well as pay the outstanding balance. The balance was much lower than Professional Credit Services ( PCS ) are claiming and was paid in full. 

I was still going by my married name at the time, and it changed only after the divorce finalized just before I moved away from OR. The name on the notice from PCS was my old married name XXXX sort of, they did n't get the entire name completely correct ), not the legal name I have currently. 

That was in XXXX. The first notice I received from PCS was towards the end of XXXX which would put the the debt at over 6 years, which is past the statute of limitations in Oregon. I have written them, and told them that I no longer owe a debt to the XXXX XXXX and that it is past the statute of limitations. I gave them minimal information, and told them to no longer contact me or I would report them. 

I received a second noticed from them in the mail on XXXX XXXX, XXXX 'offering help to pay my debt '. There is even less information in this notice than in the previous notice ( other than various account numbers XXXX. They do not seem to accept personal checks, only credit cards XXXX which I find suspicious ), and they did not heed my request to do further research into the debt they were trying to collect to find that it had been paid off. 

I received the first notice a month XXXX after I was remarried. I find it rather interesting that they suddenly found me after 6 years only after I had married and registered my name in various places by changing drivers licenses over, etc. 

I have lived in XXXX other states since OR, and am finally settled in a third with my husband. It is here they seemed to have found me. 

My complaint is that they are trying to collect on a debt that does n't exist and they are doing it 7 years later. Even if the debt still existed, they would be past the statute of limitations and, unless I am mistaken, this is illegal. 

I am keeping the promise I made to them when I first replied to their notice by reporting them in hopes that they will STOP trying to collect from me and others that do NOT OWE MONEY.
