Briefly...I moved almost eight years ago, paid my final gas bill here in WV and never heard from them again. Today almost eight years later I receive a letter from a collection/financial service in PA, that has bought all past debts from the gas company and unfortunately they have a bill they are trying to say is mine. A rather large one. First question, since this was a utility company under state utility regulations, can they sell these debts???? What category would a utility be classified as most statutes oof limitations in WV are 6 years and PA 4-6 years? Wouldn't these limitations apply and which state???? And I had read that "essential" utility bills were "not" subject to legal action? Since this debt is so old, I simply do not have those records still...so if anyone can help????? How to handle this?????? Thank You...
