I moved from my home at 4247 W Melrose, Chicago in 1998. I still owned the 2 flat. I rented it out. Unknown to me one of the tenants did not get gas in there name and Peoples Gas opened in my name. The people must have payed until the last bill and then did not pay the final $52 dollars. They later transferred it to my account (I am ok with that) and then placed a "Collection" on my credit.
Had I of known they did this of course I would have payed. They marked my credit bad and then still had me pay.
I even called Peoples Gas in 1998 to state I am moving, How can THEY open the account on there own years later and then ruin my credit???
