Imagine arguing tax law and your defense but DAVE on talk of the villages said.
We are exNew Yorkers 6% state tax, 3% City tax. We did not pay them when we cashed savings bonds after living in Florida for a year or two. We do not owe them taxes on IRAs.
ETC.
However, learning from our experience. We are old school. Still use checks. We had our old water company come after us in Florida not once but twice. First time I did their job.
Typical their accounting error, they toss it on you to do their job, free of course.
We found the bill, as I demanded it said final bill. I found the cash check with memo on it
paying final bill # in full. I sent it to them registered return receipt, cost me ????? about $7.00. A couple of years later they the company was sold and they started again with a collection agency. My second reply was, I refuse to do your job, research attached copy of signed return receipt. If,you choose to bother me further YOU WILL REGRET IT.

The problem is bottom feeding collection agencies will buy old receivables for pennies on the dollar and hound people to death with collection activities.
Last year had one that would make robo calls daily offering us a great deal paying them 50% of what we "owe". They just kept leaving messages on voice mail and we had to keep deleting them so as not to fill up voice mail with their nonsense.
