FYI, you can file a complaint against Sears for this. Few years ago they fired all the people in charge of their collections company because they were either fined or had a class action suit against them (don't remember which, maybe some lawyers here could clear that up) because they were breaking the law by trying to collect from people who had claimed bankruptcy. They called me once about a card my boyfriend at the time had (my name was not on the card or anything, we were just living together) and tried to harrass me about it. They shutup real quick when I started quoting the law to them and told them that my mother works in a law office and if they ever try something like this again they would be getting a phone call from that office informing them of a harrassment suit. They never tried that again.
My cousin (a lawyer actually) had a bill that went to collections for $0.00. Took him months to get them to clear it up. Think how much that company wasted in phone calls and postage to collect nothing. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
